I have two phones using the same Apple ID and want to set them each up under separate Apple IDs. How do I change an Apple ID on the second phone?

When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. If possible, also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.

You just have to log out of your Apple ID on the one you want to use with the different ID. See Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support.
That'll disable Fynd My and then you'll be able to sign in with a new ID Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support. That's all.
