Can an iPhone be logged in with two Apple Accounts?

I want to ask if it is possible to put 2 different Apple ID's on your iPhone? I would also like to use American apps during the holidays. Is that safe? Is it easy to switch between these 2 accounts? Will no data be lost from the original account? I have subscriptions for that. Or is it better to create an account on an older iPhone? And is it possible to use the same account Ialready have or better than creating a new one? Sorry for al those questions. Thanks for your help.

For what you are asking, no.


If you try it, it wouldn’t surprise to see one or both Apple Accounts locked, too.


Use two iPhones, with payment info appropriate for the country or region of each.

Yes you can have multiple accounts signed into a device, but not the way you want. You can have an account signed into Media & Purchases but then it is signed into that account for all purchases. Changing store country is not a trivial endeavor. The system is designed to only facilitate doing this if you are moving to the other country to take up residency. It makes it difficult for people to temporarily change country settings to do things such as get around distribution restrictions only allowing them to buy items available in the country where they actually live. The support article Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support describes how to change country setting on everything using your an Apple Account, and the requirements and results of doing this.


There is no practical workaround. Creating a second account won't help since for your purposes you can only be signed in with one. Plus you would then lose access to the other things. Since it sounds like you will be here temporarily you will just have to not need to use any American apps.
