Transfer data to new Apple ID

Hello,

With my Daughter we use one apple ID and now we opened a new account for her. She has got already applications through my ID, how we can transfer the data and synchronize with her new ID without loosing them? Would it be possible? Thanks for your support

There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps.
