transfer info from one icloud account to another

My daughter has always been on my iTunes and iCloud account. All of her photos are crossed on my phone. Her contacts are separate. Her text messages sometime get crossed on my phone. Her phone says it's mine. My phone says it is her. Is there a way for her to transfer her messages, contacts, photos to her own iTunes and iCloud account?

iPhone 7, iOS 11

If your children are 13 years old or older.


Apple ID - create a new

If they are under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID for them.

When changing to the new ID, 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. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.
