Q: I want to give my wife a separate email address on our single Apple ID

My wife and I share one Apple ID.  She would like to move email name to an apple email address such as pj***** @ iCloud.com.  How to do this?

    Is there a particular reason you prefer to share a single Apple ID? Is it primarily for sharing purchases? Photos? Messages? etc.?

     

    Because depending on what it is you would like to accomplish, there are several configurations which are available to you.


    Can you specify what it is you would like to "Share" in one list vs. which you would like to have as your "own" in a separate list?


    Cheers,
