Creating new AppleID

I’d like to create a new AppleID for my son who is 15 years old. Do I need to remove his device from my iPhone in my settings? Do I just log him out of my Apple ID on his iPhone then have him create his own Apple ID?

Log out of your Apple ID on his phone after turning off Find My Phone. Use the article below as a guide of where to sign out.

When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
