New Apple ID

My iPhone and Macbook Air is connected to my husband's Apple ID (he has a Macbook Pro). However, I want to create a new Apple ID for my devices. However, I am afraid that once I logout from my devices and login using my new Apple ID, I will lose all data from my iPhone viz. my messages and photos. How can I connect without losing any data?

If you want to create a new Apple ID see: See How to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316 See the data implications below.

 

Some of these things will apply to your situation even if you are not changing your Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

 

 Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under the new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed. See

You also can try setting up family sharing between the IDs to share purchases made with them. See:
