I want to set up an apple email account for my daughter. We share an iPad. So, step one, how do I create an email for her on our apple account, and second, how do I set it up on the iPad so that we can both check our emails, without them all mashing together? Thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Outside of Educational environments, iPad and iPhone are intended to be single-user devices.


You should each have your own AppleID - used with your own dedicated devices - as using a shared AppleID has implications for privacy and unintentional data sharing. There are many good reasons to keep your digital identities entirely separate:

Should you wish to do so, you can continue to share Apps, Services, Purchases and Subscriptions using the Family Sharing features.

Sharing an AppleID between users is a very bad idea. Sooner or later, you’re going to encounter data loss, account lockout or compromise of sensitive data.
