How can I recover my data from Apple ID if I set up a new phone and create a new Apple ID? For years I have shared an Apple ID with my dad and we also use family sharing for the whole family, but my dad and I have each other’s contacts and pictures and everything. I got a new phone and before I set it up I am wondering if I create a new Apple ID for myself if there’s any way to transfer my stuff or is the only option to lose all of my data?

New Apple ID without losing everything All my family are on the one Apple ID. My son wants his own apple ID however we don't want to loose all his photos, contacts and Apps. How do we set him up a new ID and keep them. Can you save the photos, contacts to the phone prior to setting up new ID.

When you sign out of your Apple ID on the phone you will be given an option to keep the information on your phone.

It only gives me the option to save contacts and calendar, is there a way to save anything else? Thanks
