My son has an older Ipad that he doesn't use much anymore. He was going to log out of it so I can log in with my Apple ID and use it, but it keeps giving him messages such as if he logs out it will delete his messages. Is there a way he won't lose his information if he logs out and will I be able to log in with my ID?
Unlike other computers with which you may be familiar, that support multiple user profiles - other than “managed” educational environments, OS/iPadOS devices are not intended to be shared.
Be aware that if you sign-out of iCloud and other Apple services - and allow another user to sign-in - you’ll not be able to change back for 90-days.
So as to prevent account abuse, some critical Apple services will only allow one change of signed-in AppleID (on a device) in a 90-day period.
In conclusion, unless you fully understand and accept the implications, you would be well advised to reconsider any attempt to share your iPad with another user.
