Swapping SIM cards
I want to swap my SIM card from my iphone 11 to my daughter's iphone XR. My daughter will then use her SIM in my iphone 11. How do you do this?

Hi, Jane,
It sounds like you want to swap phones with your daughter. I'm happy to help!
First, make sure you both have a backup of your phones: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.
Once you've done that, use the steps in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support on each phone to make sure that your data does not merge with hers (and vice versa) after you swap.
Then, take the SIM card out of the XR and the SIM out of the 11, and switch them: Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
After that, set the iPhone devices up (restoring your backups): Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best!
