Can I create two YouTube accounts using one Apple Account?

Hi everyone,


I have a question — I currently only have one Apple ID, and I use it to sign in to YouTube. However, I’m thinking about creating a second YouTube account or channel.

Is it possible to use the same Apple ID to register or manage two separate YouTube accounts? Or do I need to create a second Apple ID or Gmail address for that?


Would really appreciate any advice or experience you can share. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps consider use of a second Google Account, separately.

This is possible; a better choice if done careful, than 2 Apple.


YouTube does not need a second 'Apple Account' or ID. However

the Alpha/Google 'YouTube' apps, could allow more than one per

Family. Or if careful, one kept as Alias account, for primary one.


Such as gmail or other; which has a distinctly different login PW

and user Name. While I've two GM accounts; if you are careful,

might not get confused. Their security is better (almost as good

as Apple) you may find the use of Two Factor (2FA) a great idea.


Keep your passwords secure and change them every so often too.


You may wish to become aware of how Google Accounts work, as

their branding and support is combined under one banner for all

products; you can login from one, and use menus to see others.
