Question

How do I add my own iCloud account if I bought the phone secondhand?

Community Answer

If you bought the phone secondhand and the previous owner has released it from their account, just go to "Settings" and log in like usual. You could also reset the device (for the account) and log in that way. If their account is still there and you are unable to log in, follow the steps above.

Question

Can I remove the iCloud account from one of my two iPhones without affecting the iCloud account on the other?

Community Answer

Yes. Your iCloud account is stored in the cloud, so removing it from a device will not affect your account or the other device. If you have information on the device you're removing your account from, it is a good idea to back up that device before removing the account.
