How to Remove Apple ID from iPhone or iPad
Hey everyone. In this video, I wanted to show you how you can remove your Apple ID from your iPhone or iPad, or iPod touch and I'm going to show you three different ways to do it. I'm going to show you how to do it on the phone, and I'll show you how to do it on a computer, using a browser. Then I'll show you how to do it via iTunes.
So one of those three methods should work for you and if you look in the description, I'll leave timestamps to each one. So if you want to jump ahead, go ahead and do that and if this video is outdated, this is recorded on iOS 11. I'll make updated videos and I'll leave links to those in the description.
So make sure you check the descriptions. If it's your first time here, I make easy-to-follow tech videos five times a week. So please consider subscribing. Let's start with removing our Apple ID on the iPhone. So I'm on the iPhone next year and first, we want to go to settings. So I'm going to click settings here and under settings here, right on top.
You should see your user ID if you're on iOS 11. So go ahead and press that and on this page, you want to click iTunes app store right in the middle of the page. I'm going to press that and then right on top, you should see your Apple ID. Go ahead and click that ID and you should get this pop-up here and here.
You want to press a view Apple ID, right on top. Go ahead and press that I have face ID, but if you don't have the iPhone X, you will still get a message to confirm. I'm going to confirm this page and now on this page, if you scroll down, you should see remove this device and that will remove the Apple ID from this device.
Once you've done that, go back to setting and go ahead and click your Apple ID again on top. It has been removed from your iTunes under your iCloud, but you just want to make sure you log off here on your phone. So go ahead and click the name, phone number, and email, and over here, press edit and then press the minus sign here to remove that Apple ID from this section of the phone press is done. Go back and then scroll all the way to the bottom and sign out, click, sign out, and then sign in to your account one more time and then turn it off, and here you could decide if you want to keep a copy of the data on this phone, or if you want to remove it all, you could select all these. If you want to keep a copy or don't select them, if you don't want to keep a copy and then press sign out right on top, I'm also going to leave a link to this page where Apple walks you through the same things that I'm showing you here.
But if you want a little more information, go ahead and check out that link directly from Apple. The next step is let's do it on a computer, on a Mac or PC launch, any browser, and go to icloud.com and you can remove any device and the Apple ID for any device here. So go ahead and sign in to your Apple ID.
You might get a pop-up code to verify your device. Go ahead and fill that and then you'll see a page that looks like this. Go ahead and click on settings here and under the settings page, you should see my devices section right here in the middle and you'll see some of the devices that are associated with your iCloud account and right now I have my iMac, my iPhone, and Mac book pro, or you can remove them here. You want to click manage up here and the manage tab is going to bring up this page where you see even more devices. In fact, my iPad is here also. Now, I can remove any of these devices. So for example, if I wanted to remove my iPhone, I just click on it, and then it will give me the option to remove it right here. This is the option to remove it. If I press it, it will remove that Apple ID from that device. It's the same thing with my Mac book pro I'll have a remove option and every device here will have that remove option associated with it. So that's how you do it on a Mac or on a PC.
Let me show you one last option, which is on iTunes. So I just launched iTunes here and in iTunes, what you want to do is go to the menu on top and go to account and go to view my account. Go ahead and press that and then that's going to ask you to log into your account and go ahead and sign in and here on their iTunes in the cloud, you should see managed devices, go ahead and press that and you should see some of your devices that are associated with your accounts. You could go ahead and press remove here to remove that Apple ID from that device that will do the same thing that I showed you. How to do it on your phone or on the browser on Mac or PC. So hopefully one of these options solves your problem again, please check the description.
