I currently share an apple id account with my mom and I just upgraded from a iPhone 6s to a iPhone XS. I would like to switch the data from my old phone to my new apple id account before I activate the new phone. If this is possible, how should I go about it with minimal information lost?
iPhone XS
Transfer the data to the new phone.
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Quick Start to transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Then change IDs on the new phone. 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 ask your mom to set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.
