Changing an Apple ID on an Existing Iphone

I helped my grandmother set up her first smart phone and she did not have an email at that time. We set up her phone using my personal Apple ID, now she can see all of my contacts, messages and etc. If I create an Apple ID for her (now she has an email address), can I just login with the ID on her existing phone?


TIA for the help

iPhone SE, iOS 14

For a really clean start make sure you do what's in this document since the phone was set up as "yours":
