Start by completely scrubbing your own info off the device, and then scrub the device from your own AppleID.

Then, completely set it up “new” as his.

Good question.


Since he was sharing YOUR AppleID, the Apps are actually yours.


Once you have it all up and running, most apps will allow you to share them w/ family members.


There may be some data loss depending on how any game or app keeps track of users/players, but the long-term benefit of having separate AppleIDs will FAR outweigh any short-term “problems” encountered.
