To a large group of iPhone users, their Apple ID is the center of their phone – it links all the apps on the App Store, iCloud, FaceTime and Messages. However, what happens when you have to change your Apple ID on your iPhone? The process may sound daunting or dangerous whether you have purchased a used phone or you are sharing a phone or just need to get a clean start.
At Mr.Mobile we realize that it may seem complex to handle Apple accounts, particularly when one fears losing data or missing access to his or her applications. This is why we have made this simple step-by step guideline to assist you in changing your Apple IDs easily and without worry.
Why People Switch Apple IDs
You may want to change your Apple ID because of a number of reasons:
Selling or acquiring an iPhone: When you have bought an iPhone used by someone; say Mr. Mobile, then you should change to your own apple ID to have full control and security.
Cleaning up: In some cases, the user may wish to separate work and personal information or start a new Apple ID to get everything better organized.
Family sharing or privacy issue: You may wish to use your own set of IDs with your own children, or alternatively, you can change to a personal ID on a shared account.
Switching of regions or stores: It is possible that a different Apple ID will be required in that region’s App Store and services.
Regardless of the reason why, you can change the Apple ID without having to be stressed out, provided you do it in the right order.

You will be required to ensure the safety of your data before signing out and making sure that it is synced appropriately. The following are the initial steps that you should take:

2-iCloud Backup:
Click on Setting – [Your Name] -iCloud-iCloud Backup-iCloud Backup Now.
Ensure that your machine remains in Wi-Fi the whole time.
3-Computer Backup:

This keeps all your contacts, pictures and other vital files safe.

Always remember to leave the apps that are associated with your Apple ID, iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My iPhone.
On settings, messages, send/ receive, delete your apple ID.
The same with FaceTime – Apple ID – Sign Out.
This will prevent conflicts with syncing in using your new Apple ID.

What Occurs after Changing Apple ID
Once you sign in using your new account, your iPhone will be associated with the new iCloud, App Store, and iMessage options. Here’s what you can expect:
App access: Apps already downloaded are kept on your phone, although any updates will need the password of the new Apple ID.
Bought media: Music, films or applications associated with your old ID are not going to come with you. They will remain downloaded however unless deleted.
iCloud data: The data that is associated with the new ID will only synchronize. In case you had some local backup prior to switching, it is restorable at any time.
Subscriptions: There are certain services to which you might have to subscribe again using your new Apple ID.
This is whereby purchasing an iPhone through Mr. Mobile will ease the process, all our second hand iPhones are fully wiped and cleared of previous accounts. You will be able to sign into it using your Apple ID and not wait before it becomes ready.
Trouble Shooting The Inability to Sign out
This is at times a problem as users attempt to leave their Apple ID. Some of the issues raised are incorrect passwords, activation, or failure to verify.
Here’s what you should do:
Have forgotten your Apple ID password?
Go to iforgot.apple.com
and reset your password.
Stuck with Activation Lock?
This occurs when Find My iPhone is still working in a different account. In case you purchased a device at a friend or internet, call the seller to take it off.
In case you bought your phone at Mr. Mobile, there is nothing to worry about since all the devices are unlocked, checked, and with no old Apple ID.
Verification issues?
Ensure that you are connected to the internet and you have proper log-ins.

Another excellent opportunity that comes with changing the Apple ID is to enhance the security of your account.
Allow Two-Factor Authentication: Introduces an extra authentication procedure in the event of use of new devices.
Use a good Password: Do not use birthdays or simple words. Combination of letters, numbers, and symbols can protect your data.

Being secure means that you will have a safe iPhone experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
1-Will my information be lost when changing my Apple ID on my iPhone?
Not quite. When you are saving your data before leaving, it is quite easy to retrieve it when you are signing in under the new Apple ID. It is important to remember that you need to make sure that your iCloud or iTunes backup is ready to roll beforehand.
2-Is it possible to use the same phone number with a new Apple ID?
Yes. Your carrier is linked to your phone number, and not to your Apple ID. All you need to remember is that you will need to activate iMessage and FaceTime anew using your new account.
3-What is to be done when my iPhone keeps requesting the old apple ID password?
That usually means that the device is still on Find My iPhone under the original Apple ID. Assuming that you have bought it second hand it is always good to call on the seller. Or, bought it with us here at Mr. Mobile, just give us a call–we guarantee all the devices are activation lock-free.
4-Is it possible to merge two Apple Usernames?
Apple does not as yet allow the merging of accounts. You are, however, able to share purchases and subscriptions among other IDs through Family Sharing.
5-I wonder, how would I be able to know whether my iPhone is prepared to a new Apple ID?
Assuming that you have reset your iPhone properly and now you are greeted by the screen of the welcome to Apple ID setting, the phone is all set to issue a fresh Apple ID. At Mr. Mobile, when you buy with us, you could be assured- our iPhones are factory reset and they are at the disposal of new owners.
