Hi. On changing jobs recently, I had a new phone for work purposes. On set up, I had it next to my personal iPhone and somehow the work phone linked with my personal one (the apple id is showing as the same). It means all my personal stuff is on both. How do I remove this from my work Mobile without loosing any stuff off my personal phone? Thank you.
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16
When you turned on your Work iPhone and your Personal iPhone was next to it, you started a Quick Start setup. This means that your Work iPhone is signed in with your personal Apple ID.
All you have to do is sign out of your Apple ID on your Work iPhone, and possibly created an Apple ID for your work Phone, which is only used for it.
To remove your personal Apple ID from your work phone:
Start by signing out of Find My iPhone, go to:
Settings → Apple ID → Find. Disable Find My iPhone
Then, sign out of your Apple ID here:
Settings → Apple ID → Scroll to the bottom and select Sign Out.
Now your personal Apple ID has been removed from your Work iPhone.
