Hi Bnbowman21,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to know if you can merge your two Apple ID / iCloud accounts. It's not possible to merge two different Apple ID accounts. However, you can set up Family Sharing and share music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, subscriptions including iCloud+. Essentially, both Apple ID accounts will have access to the purchases you've made on both accounts. This article explains more about this: Set up Family Sharing.


"Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, subscriptions including iCloud+, and more, all without sharing an Apple ID. You can set up an Apple ID for kids, set permissions remotely with Screen Time, and approve spending and downloads from a parent's device with Ask to Buy. You can also set up Apple Cash for a child or teen, or set them up with an Apple Watch.

Start a family group

One adult in the family — the family organizer — can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If purchase sharing is turned on, the family organizer pays for family members' purchases and must have a valid payment method on file.


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap your name.
  3. Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members."


We hope this helps.


Take care.
