New apple account

Hi. I want my own apple account as I am fed up of having pages of apps on my iPad that belong to my husband son. Also all their photos or copied images. I like things on my own account to be tidy. If I set up a new apple account for me, will I lose all my photos and music that was generated on our family account?


really would appreciate your help in this.


thankyou.

Transferring data from one account to another can be tricky and involved. Some things such as purchases made with the other ID cannot be transferred but can be shared.

Look into using Family Sharing to continue to be able to use items purchased with one Apple ID with other Apple IDs.
