iCloud and AppleID

My mum and I share an ITunes Account but have different iCloud accounts. I can’t seem to restore a backup for her, as it keeps asking for my ITunes email (which my iCloud backs up to) and when I click it, it backs up my phones back up and doesn’t give me the option back up hers.

please help... she has lost everything and it’s quite devastating

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Hello kaila96,


It looks like you're trying to restore your mum's device from an iCloud backup, however it's prompting for your iCloud ID and showing your backups. Making sure you can restore your mum's data is very important, we're sure it has important photos and messages. You've come to the right place for help.


Check out the resource below for the walk-thru of restoring an iCloud backup. When prompted for your iCloud ID do you see an option to sign out or use a different Apple ID?


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


We hope this helps. Have a good day!
