Q: how to change apple id used with messages

I previously was linked to my moms apple id account and so all of our apple devices are linked. I recently created my own apple id to make our devices separate in apps like messages, iTunes, and iCloud. any help on how to make these completely separate is much appreciated.

    Hey ther Wienerle,

     

    It sounds like you need to sign out of the Apple ID in the various services that is is signed into on your phone so you can use yours instead. You can   go to your Settings on your phone and sign out of these services that use an Apple ID.

     

    Where can I use my Apple ID?

     

    • App Store
    • FaceTime
    • Find My Friends
    • Find My iPhone
    • Game Center
    • iBooks Store
    • iCloud
    • iMessage
    • iTunes Home Sharing
    • iTunes Match
    • iTunes Radio
    • iTunes Store

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Regards,
