Removing a child from your Apple ID account
My daughter turned 18 and I'd like her to have her own Apple ID, how do I remove her from my account so she can create her own and move all her apps over to her new Apple ID account?
iPhone 7, iOS 11

Apps can't be transferred between Apple IDs. The apps will remain tied to your Apple ID. You can set up Family Sharing to allow her access to the apps.
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
