Two Apple IDs

I have an iPad and MacBook Pro that has one Apple ID and an iPhone X that uses another. Is there a way to synchronize the content on all devices? Can I add my IPhone Apple ID to the other devices?

You could change what ID you use on the phone so you can sync data using iCloud.


There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases. Also see Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion
