Q: Using two Apple ID accounts on same User account
HI,
I've just bought my two kids, who are 7 and 9, an iPod Touch each. I'd like to set them up separate Apple IDs (with Family Sharing) so we can iMessage and use Find Friends - but I don't want to set them up seperate User Accounts on the Mac Mini we have (two User Accounts would be unnecessarily complicated for them).
All the advice I've found online seems to suggest two User Accounts, so can anyone tell me whether logging in and out of Apple IDs on the same iTunes would work for them (given that the Apple ID is used much wider than just iTunes by the Mac's system)?
Thanks!
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Not if you don't sign into the Messages app on the Mac....
In fact, all you would want to sign into would be the iTunes and App Stores.
Cheers,
