Hey There :)


your so welcome to the Apple support communities website,

and i would love to help you get started with Apple ID & iCloud.


Here is some instructions for you to get started. feel free to respond if you have further questions!


if your child is under 13, please follow these instructions:

  1. On your iPhone (or another parents/guardians iPhone), please navigate to settings > Tap your apple id profile at the top > family sharing
  2. Tap the Add Member Button
  3. Tap create child account and continue
  4. Enter the child's name and birth date. Be sure to enter the correct birth date — you can't change it later.
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish setting up the account. For your child's Apple ID, you can use their email address, the suggested @icloud.com address, or their Game Center nickname. 


if your child is over the age of 13,


  1. please use your sons iPhone/iPad and then select sign into iphone/ipad at the top of settings
  2. Tap "Forgot password or don't have an Apple ID?"
  3. Tap Create a Free Apple ID.
  4. Select your birthday and enter your name. Tap Next.
  5. Tap "Use your current email address," or tap "Get a free iCloud email address."
  6. Follow the onscreen steps to verify your email address, create a strong password, set your device region, and set up two-factor authentication. If you choose to skip this step, you'll be prompted to do this later in Settings.


i hope this helps

let me know if you have any more questions!


thanks,

Killian C
