I have just purchased two iPhones, one for me, and one for the wife. We currently share one iTunes account, and I have one iCloud account. What is the best next step, so that we can share the apps and music we have purchased, and I can FaceTime or iMessage her?
Do I just setup an iCloud account for her, and will it be possible to continue to share our iTunes account?
Thanks,
James
you need to have different apple ids in order to facetime and imessage each other. sharing doesn't work in that sense. also, if you're sharing an icloud account, prepare to share all of your contacts and for the manipulation of the contacts on one phone to affect the contacts on another. if this isn't your intention, i would recommend just sharing the itunes account, and not having the same icloud account on both phones. as long as you're signed into the same itunes store account on both phones in the itunes store app, you can share itunes and apps
Open itunes, connect one iohone, choose what you want, sync.
Do the same for the other.
You can set up icloud for each iphone.
Yes you can facetime each other. My wife and I do this sharing the same icloud account.
I believe you can imessage, using the phone number, but I am not sure.
You will want to create a new iCloud ID for the second phone. You can still share the same Apple ID for iTunes purchases. check the "More LIke This" section to the right of the thread and you should find information on handling this.
Hi Could you teach me how to create one more iCloud account. I have a iphone 4 (iSO 7.1.2) and a iphone 6 plus (iSO 8.1) . I want both phones to run independently but the music folders to be shared. Now both phones due to iSO is 'crushing'. Please help. Thank you.
2 iPhones, 1 iTunes account, 1 iCloud account, next step?
