Change Apple ID on Phone

My wife and I received Apple watches for Christmas. We also both have iphones under the same Apple id as well as an ipod and ipad. I want one of our iphones to have a different Apples id so that the data gleaned from our Apple watches will be separate.

Hey forrest225,


I see that you're wanting to change the Apple ID on one of your iPhone devices. I'll be happy to help out.


If you haven't already, you can use these steps to create a new Apple ID: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support. Once created you can sign out of the old Apple ID and in with the new one. The steps for this are under "App Store, Books Store, and iTunes Store" here: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support. You will want to follow the same steps for other services like FaceTime and Messages, which you can find in that same resource.


Have a great day.
