How can I isolate 2 iphones with the same email and apple ID?

I have 2 iphones, one for work and a personal one. They both have the same email and apple ID. I do not want them to be attached to each other in anyway. How can I separate them?


iPhone XR, 16

Hello ChiSoxJerry,


One way to keep data separate is to create a new Apple ID, for example - a personal Apple ID and a work Apple ID.


You can continue to use the same Apple ID on both devices if you prefer. This will require you to adjust iCloud settings to prevent data from syncing between the two iPhones.
