Change Apple ID on phone account
My Mom set up my Dad's (first ever!) iPhone with her Apple ID not realizing the issues that causes. How can I change the Apple ID on this phone with a new Apple ID account for my Dad?

Greetings JDS_1111.
You’ll want to sign out of a couple places with the Apple ID.
- First, Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
- Then, Settings > FaceTime
- At that point you can then go in to Settings > your mom’s name > turn off Find My
- Scroll down and Sign Out of iCloud
The following article has some details about what happens when signing out of iCloud, a couple screenshots, and what you/your dad can expect when doing so - Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac
Thanks.
