You can’t “merge” content …

… but you can “share” content between AppleIDs.

I have 2 apple ID. Can I make one the main one and Family share to the other? as I can't merge two apple ID's.and have purchases with both , can I somehow set up family sharing, with myself using the other ID? Would that eliminate the constant need to sign in the the correct ID every time? Sorry, I'm not up to speed anymore

Merging two apple IDs using family share Hi, I am currently 2 apple IDs: first one for iCloud (contacts, messages, iCloud docs, Photos, notes) second one for App Store (app store, music, arcade etc) On the first one I am paying for 200GB iCloud storage. Since Apple now announced Apple One subscription package, I want to get just one subscription when it is released. Is there a way to keep two apple IDs as they currently are and set up family share so that first account can access extra iCloud storage that will be part of Apple One subscription? If I set up family share am I able to continue using two separate accounts for different purposes; and continue to be signed in into two accounts on all my devices? I don't have any purchases (apps etc) on the first account so technically I could transfer all the data (contacts, photos etc) from first account to the other, but just wondering if I can use family share instead and save the hassle of transferring the data? Thanks

Thanks! I didn't mean to post this to the community. I thought I was asking the bot a question. Thanks again for the helpful answer. Take care.
