If you simply logged out of your device and logged into it with a different ID, then you may have been met with a message that asked if you want to Merge the data on your phone with the iCloud account associated with the new Apple ID. This does not merge 2 Apple ID's. The only thing that happened is that the iCloud associated with that new Apple ID will add the photos/contacts that are currently on your device.
Any apps you download will always be associated with whatever Apple ID was used to download them. The Passwords you previously had were stored in your iCloud account of your previous Apple ID. Bottom line is that you cannot merge 2 Apple ID's.
Ok so when I was logging into my old iCloud account there was something that said “merge” “don’t merge” I thought it was gonna like save basic stuff yk and after I pressed me merged I saw all my apps on my phone that was from the other iCloud and not from my old one and all my photos were from the other iCloud not old ones and all my passwords were from the other account and not old ones and I wanted to know how can I get all my apps and passwords back if they been replaced my the new ones from the other iCloud account 😭😭
I know you can’t merge to apple IDs now but my passwords that I had set with my old acc had been replaced with the pass words with my new apple acc and I’m scared bc I don’t know what to do to get them back bc I was locks of some some stuff bc idk the password
What do you mean you "pressed merge?" There is no way that I know of to merge iCloud accounts. Please explain, step-by-step what you did.
How can I recover apps and passwords after merging iCloud accounts?
