I’ve bought a new iPhone and created a new iCloud account. But I want to transfer my photos, music, messages, etc., stored on my old iCloud account to my new iPhone. Can I just have two iCloud accounts on one iPhone so I can check all the data stored on my old iCloud on my new phone?”
Yes! You can have two iCloud accounts on one iPhone. But there are some limitations. You need to choose a primary account, whether it is your new iCloud account or the old one, for iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, backup, apps, music purchases, etc. Besides, you can have additional iCloud accounts used just as email accounts for emails, calendars, notes, contacts, etc.
