Can I have 2 different Apple IDs? One for personal iPhone and one for work iPhone?

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. I want to create separate Apple IDs with their own passwords so I each account can be separated. Currently my information is synced on both devices and I'm receiving duplicate text messages, contacts and phone calls.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Yes. You can have as many Apple IDs as you have email accounts to use for them.


Do note that Apps, purchases and subscriptions are tied to the Apple ID that bought, downloaded or activated them.


You can change the Apple ID used for messages and FaceTime, while leaving the Apple ID set for iTunes & App Store purchases to maintain access to your apps, purchases and subscriptions.
