Hey my wife just got a iPad. She wants to use my Apple ID but I don't want her being logged into FaceTime and iMessage and get conflicts.

If I want to Crete a new Apple ID on my phone how do I do that and get rid of the current one? Will I lose all my apps and everything ? Do I need to wipe it?

Thanks!

What you do is share an AppleID for AppStore, iTunes Store, etc. so you're not buying things twice... She can set up an AppleID to use with iCloud for email, FaceTime.

On your devices... Set up your AppleID in the settings for iTunes and the AppStore... On her phone, set up iCloud for her with her own AppleID, which would also be what you'd set up on her phone for iMessage and FaceTime.
