Removing daughter's phone from my Apple ID

I would like to know how to remove my daughter's phone from my Apple ID account while preserving everything she currently has on her phone. I believe she needs to create her own Apple ID but she is afraid she will lose her Apple Music and other downloaded items. Thank you for any help you can give.

She can just sign out of your account and into her own but it will do some taking to set things up again.


Create an Apple ID - https://support.apple.com/HT204316


Sign in with your Apple ID - https://support.apple.com/HT204053 - Mac and iOS


If another Apple ID is signed in you may need to enter the password for that ID to sign out of that ID first.


Set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT208681


She will lose her Apple Music since that is tied to an Apple ID.


You'll need to set up Family Sharing and family subscriptions if you want to continue to pay for her things.

I could probably provide you with a bunch of related links but that's a start. :-)
