Hi ! I have an old ipad (4years old) and I just got an Iphone 13 pro. On my Iphone ive put an old Apple Id i got since long time ago (Ipod era !) and the Apple ID on my Ipad is one i've created only for that Ipad. Now I want both device to be able to communicate and I want to have access to the apps i've buy on the IPad.
Is there something I can do ?
Thanks !
When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. If possible, also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.

If you want to continue to use both Apple IDs, then I suggest Family Sharing between them. Link-> What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support
If you don't mind not using one any more then, just sign out of it on the iPod and iPhone and sign in with the Apple ID from the iPad on both. Link-> Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support
Beyond that, its highly recommended to just keep one Apple ID updated and accessible and use on all your devices. Very rarely is there a need to create a new Apple ID.
No. You cannot merge accounts or transfer App between accounts. The best you can do, is use Family Sharing so you can access purchases from one account on the other.
That way you can share the Apps between accounts but not transfer them.
Thnaks for the answer. I already put 2 Id on my devices (My new Iphone and my old Ipad). The apps I want are on the Ipad. Is there a way to regroup all that stuff into only one account ?
2 devices 2 AppleId...make one ?
