Moving to a new Apple ID from an existing one shared by 3 phones
Hi,
My partner has 3 iPhones, work, personal - as well as her daughter's phone, all connected to one Apple ID.
We want to move her personal phone to a new Apple ID. But after reading the support page on 'Changing you Apple ID' I was worried that it wasn't aiming at the same thing. Because it suggests signing out on all devices. When (I'm presuming) the 2 phones we want to stay on the same existing Apple ID should just remain as they are.
So to be clear about what we're looking for:
- Move 1 of 3 phones sharing an ID to a new ID, leaving the other 2 unchanged.
- Keep the photos, contacts, notes and calendar which are currently on the phone and then have them associated with the new Apple ID
Some other questions I imagine we'll need to know too:
- How will the paid apps behave when they don't belong to the new ID?
- What happens generally to apps' data on the phone, will it be lost with the connection to a new ID or will the current data on the phone be available to be synced with the new ID in iCloud ?
- Any other potential pitfalls..?
Thanks for any advice,
iPhone 8
