You can't have aps from two apple id's on a phone, so if he's telling you "some of his aps" he's lying.

You can. You just can't update the ones that are not under the ID you're currently logged in under.

So Gaby, can he delete those from his phone without my ID?

Yep!

He can delete them at any time. He just can't update the ones under your ID unless he's logged in as you.

Hmmm...I have an iphone and I had no idea that was a possibility, so thank you!

I'm assuming that must be with newer IOS software because I remember running in to a problem when my daughter got her ipod and I wanted her to be able to use the aps in my account, since she'd paid for some of them, but be able to use her own messenger. The guy told us that she'd need her own account, which was irritating because she was 10 and their policy was that you had to be 13.

I have a friend who has been stalked by her ex via her I-Phone Cloud access. He's called her new boyfriend, done illegal background checks to anyone who calls her, etc. Do not give him any access at all to your private information.

He doesn't need it for any GOOD reason...

Thank you everyone for the tips and advice.

Crickets on that request.

What he says seems plausible to me. I've bought things under multiple AppleIDs on my computer; sometimes my kids have itunes credit that they aren't using and I use their ID and credit and give them cash in exchange.

And yeah, a few things that were bought with my ExH's AppleID when we were married will no longer work for me.

I didn't ask for his AppleID because I assumed he would not be willing to give it to me.

I just suck it up and buy them again or do without.

Giving someone you don't trust your AppleID seems crazy dangerous.

Hope- you could still delete the apps though, right? Even without their appleID?

It doesn't matter, Nekorb. He could always restore it to factory settings and then sync it. No matter what excuse he gives you, don't give him your information. And if your password is easy to guess, change it. I looked at my icloud account. It has so much information on it that you wouldn't want anyone else to have. Plus he could track your every move using the find my phone app. Just tell him no. Don't log it in for him, don't offer to help him with it. Just tell him no.

Nekorb,

He can easily delete the apps from his phone. No password is needed to delete. They will still be in your apple account. If you use them or want to use them.

If he wants to re-install them on his phone, he must use his own account. Anytime you install a new app or a app you previously used, you will be asked for your Apple ID and password. Please do not give him your password and consider changing it to something he can not figure out.

Alright. Thank you. Now I feel armed with information!

So ridiculous that we have to go through all of this...

Just reporting back that I held firm.

Yesterday he complained that I didn't tell him I had changed my password. I said I didn't know he needed it/that he had anything under my ID on his account.

Then he complained because he had first asked me about it several days before and I didn't tell him until yesterday. I said my attention was on other things (helloooo- situation with DD!).

He has figured out he's going to have to delete and re-download.

It felt good to set a boundary. If he says anything else about it I'm just going to say that as far as I can see we aren't really sharing passwords and lock codes anymore.
