You can only have one primary i. Cloud account ; another i. Cloud account can be added with following steps. Let’s see in detail. Tap on Settings icon on your i. Phone’s or i. Pad’s home screen.

While I was researching we ran into the inquiry “Can you have two iclouds on one phone?”.
How to Have Multiple i. Cloud Accounts on One i, phone/i Pad You can only have one primary i. Cloud account ; another i. Cloud account can be added with following steps. Let’s see in detail. Tap on Settings icon on your i. Phone’s or i. Pad’s home screen. Scroll down; find Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, and Reminders (take Calendar for example).
Yes, you can only have one primary account in Settings> i. Cloud, but you can set up additional secondary accounts in Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Add Account> i, and cloud. Each account will require a separate Apple ID, and you can only create three i. Cloud accounts on each i. OS device or Mac.
Do I need More than one iCloud account?
As an Apple user who has been used Apple i. Devices and computer for several years, you must have more than one i. Cloud account, maybe a special one for your young kids or another i, and os device.
Go to the Settings app and into the i, and cloud section. You can create the third apple id, but there is no way that I know of to log into more than one i. Cloud account at one time on a device. Signing into i. Cloud automatically creates the account in Mail. So, you would have to sign out of one to sign into the other.
If you want to add a second i. Cloud account on your device, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>i. Cloud and enter a different Apple ID. Secondary accounts can only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes (not bookmarks, i. Cloud backup, photo stream, Find My i. Phone, etc.).
Can I transfer data from one iCloud account to another?
You can’t; not if the phones are sharing the same i, and cloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different i, and cloud account. (You can continue to share the same i. Tunes ID.).
Because the device will automatically use the settings associated with the Apple ID, and your Apple Music, email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, reminders, and other data will be backed up to the same i, and cloud account. If you need to view the data on one i. Cloud account from another one, transfer from one i. Cloud account to another.
What happens to my contacts if I share an iCloud account?
If you are sharing an i. Cloud account do not start deleting contacts on either device. Doing so will delete them from i. Cloud and the other device and they will be lost. To prevent merged data like this you need to have different i. Cloud accounts on each device.
