Hello.
I wish to give my old iphone to my child. Its currently setup as mine and I have added a child profile to my family, no problems there - but how do i switch the phone from being mine to theirs?
I have other Apple devices i can use if that helps answer.
I have everything backed up so the old iphone can be wiped.
Many thanks.

Hey there, Wobble Woo!
Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.
Sharing your old iPhone with your child is a really generous and we're glad to help. Setting up an Apple ID for them on your Family Sharing group was perfect and makes the process really easy from here. In fact, there is a really great article you can find below that will guide you through the whole process from scratch:
