The call goes to two different iPhones simultaneously - disable the function. How many Apple IDs does a family need?

Apple ID is an identifier, a kind of account, that is provided to users so that they can access various services Apple such as App Store or iCloud.

If you have several Apple devices (for example, iPad and iPhone), then you can use one Apple ID for two devices. You can organize the use of the same Apple ID on any several Apple devices - for example, iPad and iPhone.

An Apple ID can be used in several available services at once, or in only one of them. In turn, each gadget can use several Apple IDs at once - a very common option is when several accounts are created to work in iTunes and iCloud.

You can link no more than 10 computers or 5 iOS devices to one ID. In addition, you cannot switch between different Apple IDs more than once every 90 days. This limitation was introduced several years ago, which caused dissatisfaction among many users. If previously users had the opportunity to link up to 5 computers and an unlimited number of iOS devices to one account, now this number is only 10. This includes not only personal computers, tablets and smartphones, but also devices such as Apple TV set-top boxes.

The innovation was caused, as some online publishers believe, by the appearance on the Internet third party services, which gave users access to their Apple ID for a small fee.

Music and other files of interest had already been purchased there, which clients downloaded. Thanks to new system linking accounts, such schemes ceased to work, because there was a restriction on the maximum number of devices. The users themselves were not happy with the innovation, which they themselves accepted along with another 50-page agreement with iTunes.

Linking multiple devices to one Apple ID is not a lot of work. For example, use one for two devices– iPhone and iPad.

Create new account possible with or without a credit card. The difference is that a credit card is required to purchase paid apps and files. You can link a credit card later, so we won’t focus on this. Launch on any device iTunes app and go to the App Store section (registration is required for the Russian store!).

Having found any demon paid application, click on the “Free” button and select the line “Create an Apple ID.” Next, you need to fill out the registration form - there is a lot of information about this on the Internet, so we won’t dwell on this.

After registering, you will need to confirm your registration by email, after which you can use your Apple ID for multiple devices, such as an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.

IN last generations All Apple smart devices have a built-in “Continuity” or “Continuously” function. With its help, details of some applications, configuration settings, calls and text messages can be duplicated on different gadgets belonging to the same owner.

Sometimes users have a situation where the same call comes to two iPhones. This causes a lot of inconvenience, especially when you are away from home or want to use only one gadget to make calls. Also, the function will be unnecessary if one of your devices is used by another family member. Frequent calls will interfere with working with the gadget.

In what cases does duplication of calls occur on iPhone?

A call from a phone to a tablet will be repeated only if a number of requirements of the “Continuity” function are met, namely:

• All gadgets must be connected to the same Apple ID;
• Connecting devices to one router ( single network Wi-Fi) or connection to one access point;
• The gadgets have the same ID in the FaceTime app.

To deactivate the function, you must change one of the above features. For example, disconnect another gadget from your router or FaceTime. Please note that you should not try to change the Apple ID binding, otherwise this may result in you losing access to the device. It is recommended to use the ID that you initially set up after purchasing the iPhone.

Disabling synchronization in iPhone settings

If you want data on incoming and outgoing calls to no longer be duplicated on all your IPhones, you just need to deactivate the unnecessary option in the phone settings:

• Go to Settings and click on “iMessage”;
• Scroll down the window;
• Deactivate the “Calls from iPhone” slider;
• Restart both devices that are syncing.

For some users, the problem of duplicate calls on the iPhone does not disappear even after deactivating the add-on. If this happens, repeat a few more steps:

• In the smartphone Settings, open the “Phone” window;
• Click on “Calls through other devices”;
• Disable call permission.

Synchronization of two Apple devices can occur not only due to the “Continuity” function, but also due to connection to the same account iCloud storage. To fix the problem, just make sure that one of the phones does not send data to the cloud:

• Click on the “Settings” icon in the main menu of the iPhone;
• Select "iCloud Drive";
• Turn off the slider next to “Allow data to be stored in iCloud.”

This way, all phone book and call log data will not be sent to cloud server and another device will not be able to receive them. Calls to iPhone and iPad will no longer be duplicated.

Another quick and effective way is simple shutdown Internet on one of the gadgets. Without access to global network synchronization is impossible and the inconvenience of repeated calls will no longer arise.

Please note that even if you have already disabled the slider in one of the functions described above, activate it and then turn it off again. This way you can eliminate possible errors and failures in the settings, which caused incorrect operation during the synchronization process.

Any instructions for self-repair You can find your iPhone on our website, or call a specialist for to any place convenient for you.

Not all apps are created equal. In fact, not all applications are available to us in Russia. There are other country-specific apps, as well as apps that are released in smaller markets. But what if you want to download these programs for yourself?

Step 1: Sign out of iCloud.
To create a new iTunes account, you will first need to sign out of your current iTunes/iCloud account. You can do this by opening Settings and clicking iCloud. Scroll to the bottom of the screen where you will see a button labeled "Exit". Click Sign Out, your iPhone will warn you that if you sign out of your account, all Photo Stream photos, documents and data stored in iCloud will be deleted from your iPhone.

Your iPhone will also ask you to choose whether to keep your iCloud data and contacts on your iPhone, and then ask you to enter your iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.

You will be asked to enter your date of birth, name and email address (you will have to enter different email addresses for different accounts iTunes/iCloud). You will also be asked to choose a password, answer three security questions, and enter additional backup address email. Once you've filled it all out, click on continue (this may take a while).

Step 4: Select the country of the new iTunes/iCloud account.
Before you can start downloading apps for another country, you will need to select the country of your new account. To do this, open the App Store and click "Selection". Scroll down to the bottom of the page where you will see a button that says "Login". Click this button and log in using your new credentials.

This is done through the App Store. Due to the simplicity of registration and the optionality of providing information about credit card. In the future, as a rule, users use this identifier for all other Apple services.

This is perfectly acceptable if you have one iPhone. But if you have several devices in your family or friends, and you want to share purchased applications, exchange photos and take advantage of other benefits of a shared account. In this case, simply using one Apple ID is fraught with consequences. IN best case scenario You can lose personal information, or at worst, get your iPhone locked.

In general, users do not understand the issue very well Apple usage ID. You can judge this by logging into the iCloud shared account. Some users synchronize their phone book, calendar, or connect the device to the Find My iPhone service. And not only are your location and contact details known to all other participants, but your phone can also be accidentally/specially blocked.

It's important to know that: An Apple ID is not automatically registered for all Apple services. You can create several Apple IDs and register each one with the service you need.

You can create additional IDs directly on the Apple website - https://appleid.apple.com.

You can use several Apple IDs on one gadget, each of which will interact with strictly defined services that can be specified manually.

True, there are rules and restrictions here.

Some Apple services can be used on one gadget at a time only once. For example, an iPhone can back up to iCloud using only one Apple ID. Unfortunately, it cannot be broken backup copy between multiple iCloud accounts. If your data does not fit into the allotted 5 GB, then either buy additional ones with money or from iTunes.

At the same time, mail settings allow you to use several mailboxes iCloud.

Here is a table of compatibility of various Cupertino services with one or more Apple IDs.

If you have multiple devices, then the best solution there will be the creation of one common content for purchasing.

For backups, it would be better to use separate Apple IDs, which will allow you to store the data of your gadgets in iCloud. A few more Apple ID accounts will be useful for various other purposes.

So, what is the best way to separate Apple ID accounts:

Activate a common account for purchases on all gadgets

This account must be activated on all iPhones and iPads, which will allow you to access all purchased applications from any family gadget. In addition, do not forget about services such as iTunes Match, which everyone in your household may also want access to, so be sure to activate it in advance.

I would like to remind you that you can use as many devices as you like with one Apple ID.

"Settings" - "iTunes and App Store" - "Apple ID"

Create a separate account for backup

After creating a single Apple ID for applications, be sure to create an Apple ID for backup on each of your gadgets. This will allow you to store all your data in the cloud and if something happens to any of the gadgets, you can restore all the data in just a couple of clicks.

IN iOS settings be sure to indicate synchronization of bookmarks and other personal data with the Apple ID of this gadget. The Find My iPhone service is automatically linked to iCloud. If you have connected several devices to the cloud at once, then you have the opportunity to track their location.

"Settings" - "iCloud" - "Account"

"Settings" - "iCloud" Turn on the switch "Find iPhone".

By the way, dear users, check that your iCloud account does not match the shared account ID. Or at least turn off the Find My Phone feature. Otherwise, your device can be monitored through the application of the same name and on the iCloud.com website.

And the most unpleasant thing is that your iPhone can be blocked or all content erased.

Who are all these people? :)

Create a separate account to monitor family gadgets

Of course, you shouldn’t forget about safety, because your gadget can simply be forgotten in a cafe or simply lost. This is exactly what it was created for Find service My iPhone, which is linked to iCloud and we wrote about this above.

But in order not to share personal data from the cloud, but to know the whereabouts of your household, it is better to use the “Find Friends” service, which was developed by Apple specifically for these purposes. It allows you to easily share your location.

Let's look at the situation with Apple ID accounts using an example

For example, there is a family that consists of a mother, father and son/daughter. And everyone has apple technology. Linked to all devices general account App Store from which programs and games are installed. At the same time, the son/daughter doesn’t really want to share photos of the next party, so photos, documents and notebook synchronizes to iCloud under a different ID.

In addition, the same iCloud account is enabled Find function My iPhone, so that if necessary, you can find the owner of the phone and send him a message. And to share location between interested people, the “Find Friends” program is connected.

Well individual programs: FaceTime, GameCenter, Messaging, HomeSharing, App Store can be configured to any other ID. This also includes an additional App Store account, for example, a purchased general account (an App Store ID can only be used to install programs/games).

You can specify any other account in the App Store application and install programs from it that you do not have on your iPhone.

The device can simultaneously contain applications installed under different IDs from Apps Store. They get along well with each other until they synchronize with iTunes.

iTunes does not allow such liberties. The program will ask you to select the main ID for synchronization, and applications installed from other IDs will be mercilessly erased.
