Unlinking Apple Devices from the Same Apple ID

When you have multiple Apple devices, it’s convenient to use the same Apple ID for all of them. This way, you can easily access your apps, data, and other settings across all your devices. However, there may come a time when you want to unlink your Apple devices from the same Apple ID.

There are a few reasons why you might want to do this. For example, you might want to give a device to someone else, or you might want to start using a different Apple ID for one or more of your devices.

Whatever the reason, unlinking your Apple devices from the same Apple ID is a relatively simple process. Here’s how to do it:

  2. Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
  3. Tap on Sign Out.
  4. Enter your Apple ID password and tap on Sign Out.

Your device will now be unlinked from your Apple ID. You will need to sign in with a different Apple ID if you want to continue using the device.
