AppleAccount

Your Apple Account is the account you use to access Apple Services like the App Store, AppleMusic, iCloud, FaceTime, the iTunes Store, and more.

• An AppleAccount consists of an email address and a password. In some locations, you can use a phone number instead of an email address. See the Apple Support article Use your mobile phone number to sign in to your Apple Account.

• Sign in to the same AppleAccount to use any Apple service, on any device. That way, when you make purchases or download items on one device, the same items are available on your other devices. Your purchases are tied to your AppleAccount, and cant be transferred to another AppleAccount.

• Its best to have your own AppleAccount and not share it. If youre part of a family group, you can use Family Sharing to share purchases between family memberswithout having to share an Apple Account.
