That is not how it works.

You can use the Apple Music subscription on all your devices that use the Apple ID that has the subscription.

Devices with a different Apple ID cannot use that subscription.

Users are encouraged to use a single Apple ID for all their devices, so that services can make use of that link.

You can probably sign out of the Apple ID on that phone and sign in again with the wanted Apple ID, but you also lose access to products and services that were tied to that other Apple ID. As a bit of a caution: You are not supposed to switch accounts constantly on a device, and certainly not when using services like Apple Music, as doing so may lock you out for that device.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I'm afraid that you didn't understand my attention.


I didn't want to use the account on both devices.


I want to transfer my student discount right, cancel the account in the iPad (which have apple id 1), and open student apple music account in my iPhone (apple id 2).


I open the account on the iPad by accident, and now I don't know how to transfer.
