An apple id is the account you use to access apple services like icloud, the app store, itunes store, apple books, imessage, apple music, apple tv app, or apple podcasts. it includes the email address and password that you use to sign in, and all the contact, payment, and security details that you'll use across apple services.. If you plan to use both icloud and apple id as one single account, which i think is the best way to go for new users, then you should go into icloud settings in system preferences and setup there.. Since you say that you want to delete your wife's account off your phone, that indicates that there is an icloud account on your phone. when you go to settings>icloud, if you are signed into your wife's icloud account, and if any of the data syncing settings are set to on, then your data is syncing with her account..
After you enter your apple id, go to system preferences and click icloud. choose the apps—like notes, photos, and icloud drive—that you want to use with icloud. find the storage plan that’s right for you. Just sign in to icloud when you set up your new device, and you’ll be ready to go in minutes. two‑factor authentication helps keep your data safe. two‑factor authentication is an extra layer of security designed to ensure that only you can access your account.. Your family can share itunes, apple books, and app store purchases, an apple music family subscription, a single icloud storage plan, and more. once family members join, family sharing is set up on everyone’s devices automatically..
