How does Apple restrict you to a single Apple ID?
I use my personal Apple ID for personal things, my work one for work things, and as an admin of our Apple Business Manager account I can create new Apple IDs for anyone in the company as necessary.
To my knowledge Apple doesn't even have a policy of requiring one account, I've certainly been told to set up separate accounts by Apple support teams.
Facebook does have this problem, they have a policy that you must not have separate IDs, they police this heavily with a lot of automated bans, and they also require a Facebook account to do development with Facebook.
- noahtallen 5y agoIt’s more like a single device is limited to a single Apple ID. (At least the mobile ones.) that gets tricky when it comes to, e.g. sharing an iPad with your kids. On computers you can work around it by having different profiles different people use.
- yarcob 5y agoDo you use multiple Apple IDs on one device? I tried doing that for some time, and it caused a lot of issues. Maybe it works if you have separate devices for work and for home use, but I use my Macs for both business and home use.
- d0lphin 5y agoI do! I have a separate Apple ID for services like iMessage than I do for the App Store. I can't log into more Apple IDs than that in settings though.
