(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So my dad got his first smartphone, an iPhone SE, and he wants to use his personal email which is the same email linked to the Apple ID on my phone, the same Apple ID I've been using since I got my first Apple phone several years ago. So I changed my Apple ID email to my own email so my dad can hopefully use his email on his phone. I enter his email in the set up on his phone but it says that email is taken already. What do I do?

Yes I tried that already and says it is unavailable. I even tried entering my email that I'm using now and it said it was unavailable so that's how I know my Apple ID is under my email now. Perhaps there is a waiting time or something?

How long since you removed the first email shouldn't be more than 48 hours you may just have to use a different one.

Yeh the best option I can give you is to either contact apple support or use a different new email address.

My dad doesn't want to use a different email lol. That's the only email he's been using since computers came out like 12 years ago. We'll probably contact Apple as a last resort
