Yes. You can change the Apple ID in 4 locations.

Settings ➡️ Account (top of settings) ➡️ Scroll down to the bottom to find the Sign out option, then sign in with the Apple ID you wish to use.

Settings ➡️ Account ➡️ Media & Purchases

Settings ➡️ Messages ➡️ Send & Receive ➡️ Apple ID

Settings ➡️ Facetime ➡️ Caller ID ➡️ Apple ID.


Do note, apps and media content such as movies and tv shows will remain tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them and in the case of Apps, they will always require it to update.


Is there some reason you have more than one Apple ID? Any reason you weren’t using the same Apple ID for all your devices?


Also note, that when you sign in with the other Apple ID and download something, it will associate the device with that Apple ID and lock the original Apple ID out of the device for 90 days.
