The process for using a different iCloud account for FaceTime was similar in iOS 10, and also no longer works in iOS 11. In iOS 11 when you try to do this, it automatically signs you back into the device's primary Apple ID - you can't enter a new one. That said, if you just want the bare-bones functionality of having multiple accounts to use in apps like Messages and FaceTime, we'll show you the best workaround we've found so far.ĭon't Miss: The 9 Most Annoying Changes in iOS 11 & How to Fix Them How It Used to Work in iOS 10īefore diving right in, it's good to know how this worked in iOS 10, so you don't confuse this with just adding additional emails for FaceTime and Messages.īefore, to use a different iCloud account for Messages, you would go to "Messages" in Settings, tap on "Send & Receive," tap on your Apple ID up top, then "Sign Out." Afterward, you could just tap on "Use your Apple ID for iMessage" from the main "Messages" settings to sign into a different iCloud account.

As inconvenient as this omission is, there's still a way to use alternate iCloud accounts on your iPhone with a little hackery.
