Summary

You can sign in to another iTunes Store account on your iOS device by following these steps.

Products Affected

iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, iTunes, iTunes Store

When you sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your computer, the Apple ID account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device. This Apple ID account is then used when accessing the iTunes Store from the device. This same account is also used for the App Store and iBookstore.

The account ID that was synced to the device is displayed at the bottom of each page, so you'll always know which account you are using on the device. Open iTunes or the App Store on your iOS device and scroll to the bottom of any page to see which account is currently in use. You can also see this in Settings > iTunes & App Stores.

Changing your Apple ID account

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.

Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
