Apple ID email and username

I had set up my daughter's iPhone with my email, but I am going to get an iPhone and need to use my email address. At the time I set up my daughter's phone she didn't have an email address but now she does. What do I need to do to take my email address completely off her apple ID account?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Since she has her own email, she/you can create an Apple ID for her. If 13 years old or older.


Apple ID - create a new.      


Apple ID – Create         


If under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID.

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. Also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
