Hi


Apple recommends using a single Apple ID for all Apple services on iPhone.


However, it is possible to use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different one for iTunes Store:


  • Go to: Settings > iCloud - sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iCloud.
  • Go to: Settings > iTunes & App Store - sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iTunes.

There are 5 "places" you can sign in with an Apple ID. iTunes, iCloud, Messages, FaceTime and GameCentre.


These can be different Apple ID's but each has a different function. You can't use iCloud with 2 unique Apple IDs.


You could have a work ID for iCloud and a personal ID for iTunes. I would recommend against it however, but it is doable..
