How To Activate Apple ID

Activation Lock turns on automatically when you set up Find My.* After it’s turned on, Apple securely stores your Apple ID on its activation servers and links it to your device.

You can create a new Apple ID when you set up your device, or set it up later in the App Store.

Your Apple ID password or device passcode is required before anyone can turn off Find My, erase your device, or reactivate and use your device.

Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services such as the App Store, the iTunes Store, Apple Books, Apple Music, FaceTime, iCloud, iMessage, and more.

Create your Apple ID using the App Store on your device

  1. Open the App Store and tap the My Account button.

  2. Tap Create New Apple ID. If you can’t see this option, make sure you’re signed out of iCloud.

  4. Enter your payment method and billing information, then tap Next. You can also choose None. You won’t be charged until you make a purchase.

  5. Confirm your phone number. This can help you verify your identity and recover your account, if needed. Tap Next.

  6. Check your email for a verification email from Apple and verify your email address.

After you have verified your email address, you can use your Apple ID to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store and other Apple services, such as iCloud.
