Hi LeonCor,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
We understand you want to merge your Apple IDs. There's no way to merge two different Apple IDs, but you can share information. You mentioned that you're using the same Apple ID on two different phones. If you use iCloud on both iPhones with the same Apple ID, the content from each device is being synced using iCloud.
If you use the same Apple ID on both iPhone for iTunes or Apple Music, this will also have your purchased music or music library synced to the same Apple ID.
Are you trying to move specific content to one iPhone?
Regards.
You can merge any data using iCloud. On each phone go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on the switches for content you want to sync, then leave the phone connected to Wi-Fi and plugged in to power (to keep the Wi-Fi on) until the sync completes.
Thank you Lawrence, I know it is old fashion, I don't use the iCloud due to be reluctant to pay for the space that I would need. I am trying to do this process through a computer, creating back ups from iPhone A and then restore back up to the iPhone B, but I want the iPhone B content to merge with iPhone A content.
Restoring a backup overwrites everything. iCloud is the only way to merge content.

Thank you!
