To unlink a device from the same Apple ID, follow these steps:
1. Unlock your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on your Apple ID, which is usually located at the top of the Settings menu. It will have your name and profile picture.
3. In the Apple ID menu, you will find a list of options. Look for the section called “Devices” and tap on it. This will show you a list of all the devices connected to your Apple ID.
4. Locate the device that you want to unlink and tap on its name.
5. On the device’s page, you will see an option that says “Remove from Account.” Tap on it.
6. A confirmation prompt will appear asking if you want to remove the device from your account. Tap on “Remove” again to confirm your decision.
By following these steps, you will successfully unlink the selected device from your Apple ID. This means that the device will no longer have access to your iCloud account, App Store purchases, and other services associated with your Apple ID.
It’s important to note that unlinking a device from your Apple ID does not erase any data or settings on the device itself. It simply removes the device’s association with your Apple ID. If you want to completely remove all personal data from a device, you should perform a factory reset or erase all content and settings on the device itself.
Additionally, unlinking a device from your Apple ID may impact certain features or services that rely on your Apple ID for authentication, such as Find My iPhone/iPad/iPod or iCloud backups. Make sure to consider these factors before removing a device from your account.
Unlinking a device from your Apple ID is a straightforward process that can be done directly from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
