Part 4. How to Change Apple ID Login on iPhone

After changing phone number, email, and password for Apple ID, you have to log in with Apple ID on your iPhone again. Or if you want to sign in with a different Apple ID on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, instead of changing the email for Apple ID, you can follow the steps below.

Changing an Apple ID on a device can possibly cause unexpected issues with iPhone and conflicts with some apps. For example, if you own an app under one Apple ID but not the one being changed to, you may then lose it after you change the login account. Thus, we suggest you'd better do this only on a specific device that is a clean slate without any critical App Store and related downloads tied to it.
