my phone and my daughters iPad have the same Apple ID. My daughter wants to iMessage with her friends. Is there a way she can do this without changing the Apple ID on her ipad? can you just change an apple id for messaging only?

My daughter uses the same Apple ID as me. She wants to iMessage with her friends. When iMessage is turned on on the iPad she receives all the text messages from my phone. I do not want to change the Apple ID for the devise. She has many games and other apps that can be messed up if we do so. Can you just change an Apple ID on messaging? Can I create a new Apple ID just in iMessage for her on the iPad without messing up any of her stuff on her iPad?

iPad, iOS 10

You can create a new Apple ID and use it only for Messages/FaceTime. It shouldn't affect anything else on her iPad.


Apple ID - create a new.      *


Apple ID – Create   -


Apple ID - Could Not Create or Could Not Set Up iCloud message.
