If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account. However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones. They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream). Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this. (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.)

How can someone else have the same iCloud email address as me?
I registered for my iTools account as soon as they were offered and have had the same email address ever since.
My account has not been hacked and I regularly change my password for the account.
I frequently get emails from Apple notifying me that someone has attempted a password reset on my account.
I have over the past two years received a steady stream of emails correctly addressed to me, but obviously meant for other folks.
Some in the US and others in Europe and beyond.
The emails contain payslips, mortgage offers, confirmation of appointments for restaurants and car servicing.
Having read these and many other forums, I believe Apple, like Google allow the use of the same email address by multiple people.
This may be because even if the desired mac.com or iCloud.com or me.com addresses are unavailable, Apple allows an alias to be created.
This should not be the case. At least to my mind it should not be so.
I am most concerned that if I am able to receive their emails, they may be receiving mine.
I pay for Apple's services and expect them to be secure.
Anyone else feeling uneasy about this?It's most unlikely that anyone else has your address: if your address (obviously don't post it here) uses a fairly common name as many of the early ones do, then you are liable to get idiots coming to the conclusion that they own it because their name is the same. They give it out, and you get their messages. It sounds insane, but it does happen quite a bit - people can be quite incredibly stupid.
It's unlikely that anyone is receiving your email, particularly as you've changed the password. You should contact Apple as even if it's the case I've described it counts as a security issue, though it's not that easy to see what can be done about it.
This Apple Help page provides contact information for various countries for security problems with an Apple ID:

I have activated iCloud on iPad2 and iPhone4S (both on iOS 7) using the same Apple ID and signed into 'Find my iPhone' still my iphone is not visible in my devices. I can only see my iPad.
On your iPhone, try toggling Find My iPhone off, then back on after a few seconds.

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.
You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc. -
Hi. I purchased a new ipad mini and my brother already has iphone 4,so how can i avoid sharing the same contents that are on his phone? Will creating an other apple id help us in seperating our facetime and icloud accounts as we share our laptop to sync ?

I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id. Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?
You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id
How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with. -
I have an iMac, and iPhone. I've had my Apple ID for a few years.
My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password. I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID. When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords? (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
Thanks.Hi
You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife. -
My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?
Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?
Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased. -

How can I link iTunes Match to my proper Apple ID? I have two ID's and my phone accesses iCloud with the proper ID but it insists on trying to access iTunes Match using the wrong ID so I get the message that I'm not registered for iTunes Match.
The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

Can i use the same apple id for my irish and english iphone?
I currently use two different Apple IDs on my Irish and English Iphones. Can I use the same Apple ID for both to make it easier to syn onto my macbook?
Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.
