How to Change Apple ID Logged in to App Store
If you’ve recently changed your Apple ID or simply want to switch the account associated with your App Store, you might be wondering how to do it. Changing your Apple ID logged in to the App Store is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of changing your Apple ID on the App Store on both iOS and macOS devices.
Step 1: Open the App Store
The first step to changing your Apple ID on the App Store is to open the App Store app on your device. If you’re using an iOS device, you can find the App Store icon on your home screen. On a macOS device, you can find the App Store in the Applications folder or by searching for it in Spotlight.
Step 2: Tap on Your Apple ID
Once you’ve opened the App Store, tap on your Apple ID icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with various options, including your account information.
Step 3: Sign Out of Your Current Apple ID
In the menu that appears, select “Sign Out.” This will log you out of your current Apple ID and allow you to sign in with a new one.
Step 4: Sign In with Your New Apple ID
After signing out, you will be prompted to sign in with a new Apple ID. Enter your new Apple ID and password, then tap “Sign In.” If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you may need to enter a verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number.
Step 5: Verify Your Identity (If Required)
In some cases, you may be prompted to verify your identity to ensure that you are the rightful owner of the Apple ID. This process may involve entering your birth date or answering security questions. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the verification.
Step 6: Confirm the Change
Once you’ve successfully logged in with your new Apple ID, the App Store should reflect the change immediately. All purchases, subscriptions, and other account information associated with your previous Apple ID will now be linked to your new account.
Additional Tips
– If you’re unable to sign out of your current Apple ID, you may need to sign out from all devices using your Apple ID. Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in with your current Apple ID, and select “Manage Devices.” From there, you can sign out of all devices.
– If you have multiple Apple IDs and want to switch between them, you can do so by signing out and then signing in with the desired Apple ID.
– Remember to update your Apple ID on all devices to ensure a seamless experience across your Apple ecosystem.
By following these steps, you can easily change your Apple ID logged in to the App Store and enjoy the benefits of using your new account.
