Old phone

I have an old iPhone I would like to give to my 7 year old to be able to use under WiFi only. Currently if he messages someone it shows up under my name, I would like to set up his own account.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

I suggest you follow the steps in the article below to make it 'his' phone.


Selling/Giving Away Device.      


Then create an Apple ID for him to use when you set the phone up as new.


If 13 years old or older.


Apple ID - create a new.      


Apple ID – Create         


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