Got new iPhone, but old iPhone needing new Apple ID

I just purchased a new iPhone SE to replace my old android. Meanwhile, my teenage daughter already has an iPhone 7plus, but unfortunately it's set up under my Apple ID. (I really had no clue how to set up when she got her phone). How can I set up my new iPhone with my Apple ID, set up a new Apple ID for my daughter, and not have her lose any of her phone content? Thank you!

Create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316 for your daughter. See the data implications below.

 

Some of these things will apply to her situation even if she uis not changing her 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 a new Apple ID. For example, she 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
