Hi Meg262,


Welcome to the Support Communities!


The article below recommends that you use the same Apple ID for Store purchases and for iCloud.

But you can create a separate Apple ID for your iCloud account if you wish.

Be sure to backup your device before making these changes.

The links below should help you with this:

I hope this information helps ....

Have a great day!
