Things to Consider before Unlinking Apple ID from A Used iPhone

The Reasons for Unlinking Apple ID from A Used iPhone

  • Chances are you are currently using the iPhone for official purposes. You were logged in to the company’s iCloud or Apple platform and now, you’d like to use your own personal account.
  • You used to share an account with a family member and for one reason or the other, you no longer feel comfortable with that and would love to use your own account.
  • Lastly, you just created a new Apple ID account and due to the email address, you previously used with the original is no longer valid - What you have to do now is to first delete the old account.
  • You get the phone from someone else and you want to use your own or create a new one, so you can use the phone fully.

Things to Consider before Unlinking Apple ID from A Used iPhone

Ok, now you have a tenable reason for wanting to unlink the Apple ID from a used iPhone. But before you go ahead, there are some things you need to consider, before taking these steps.

  • The first thing you want to consider when you sign out form the account is that it will result in you been signed out of the Messages, Facetime and the App store too.
  • You should make sure that you back up the data you used on the iCloud. This would include mail, contacts, photos and any other file you have stored on the iCloud drive.
  • This would also mean losing access to some other services. To continue using that service you’d have to sign in, probably with another account.

However, if you did not own the Apple ID but just need to unlink it from the phone, then you can just go directly to remove it without worrying anything.


At the end of it all, nothing should stop you from unlinking Apple ID from a used iPhone. The best way to do that on a final note is using the iMyFone LockWiper. This is by far the easiest way to go about it.
