Learn how to remove an Apple ID from your iPhone easily with this step-by-step guide.

There are many reasons you might wish to remove an Apple ID from an iPhone without performing a full factory reset.

You may have changed your Apple ID or created a new Apple account, or you may simply wish to unlink your Apple account and corresponding information from an iPhone without needing to factory reset the device - this might occur when selling or decommissioning the smartphone.

This process removes most of an Apple ID's settings from the iPhone but typically still requires the Apple ID password if Find My [device] is enabled and hasn't been deactivated on the handset.

Problems can occur with Activation Lock, which helps secure your iPhone by preventing an unauthorized user from reactivating the device without your permission, if you don't first sign your Apple ID out of an iPhone when choosing to Erase All Content And Settings.

So even if you're fully erasing and resetting an iPhone, it's helpful to know and understand the following process of removing an Apple ID from an iPhone.
