Can Apple IDS BE MERGED OR LINKED?

Can you link or merge two Apple ID’s? When I play my Apple Music it says that it’s my other Apple ID and I haven’t done anything to make it play using my other ID. My boyfriend keeps doing things to my Apple IDs and I’m always having to figure it out what has been done . I hoping having a physical security key will stop him from getting into it…?

You cannot directly merge two Apple IDs into one account. However, Apple provides an official tool to migrate purchases from a secondary account over to your primary one. If your Apple Music keeps switching to the wrong ID, it is likely because your Media & Purchases section is signed into that second account or that there is some form of family sharing between the two.
