Identical account seperation

Hi,

I have 2 similar iphones , each with its own phone number, on the same account and wish to seperate them so each phone is its own identity.

Which is easiest way to do this?

Thanks

The easiest and probably the only way to do this is to use a separate Apple ID for each iPhone.

Preferably from a computer, you can visit 👉 www.appleid.apple.com and then create a new Apple ID there.

Choose one of the iPhones and open Settings ➡️ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➡️ Sign Out: This will sign you out of the current Apple ID on that iPhone. Read here 👉 To learn, what happens when you sign out of your Apple ID.

Once your iPhone has been rebooted then you can sign in with your new Apple ID that you had created earlier. At this point, you can set up Messages and FaceTime, iCloud etc.
