How to Remove Apple ID from iPhone With/Without Password

The Apple ID is the heart of the iPhone. Once you're signed in with your Apple ID, you'll be able to use all Apple services on your iPhone, including iCloud, App Store, Apple Music, Find My iPhone, and more.

In most cases, we don't need to remove your Apple ID from your iPhone. But if you want to sell or give away your iPhone, it's a good idea to delete your Apple ID to protect your data from prying eyes and to avoid any inconvenience to others - no access to Apple services.

If you don't know how to delete your Apple ID from your iPhone, read on for detailed steps.

When Do You Need to Remove Apple ID?

For the safety of your data, you may consider deleting your Apple ID in the following situations:

• Before you sell, give away, and trade in your iPhone.
• You want to use another Apple ID on your iPhone.
• No longer using Apple devices.

Will Removing My Apple ID Remove All My Data?

The answer is Yes and No. Files saved in storage will not be lost, but data saved in your Apple ID account will be deleted. For example, if you backed up Notes through iCloud, your local Notes data will be wiped after you delete your Apple ID. (But the deleted local data is automatically restored when you log in to your Apple ID again.)

To avoid the risk of data loss, it is recommended that you backup your iPhone from time to time.
