If you delete your Apple ID, you will lose access to a significant amount of data and services associated with your account. Here's what will happen if you request to delete your Apple ID at privacy.apple.com:

  • Lose access to all Apple services, including the App Store, iTunes, Apple Pay, iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My iPhone.
  • Lose all data stored in iCloud, including photos, videos, documents, and other content.
  • Lose App Store purchases and downloadable content on Apple services.
  • Lose the ability to receive FaceTime calls, iMessages, or iCloud Mail.
  • Lose access to subscriptions linked to your Apple account (they will be automatically canceled at the end of their billing cycles).
  • Lose Apple Support cases and Apple Store appointments linked to your account.
  • Lose the ability to use the email address associated with your Apple ID for any new or existing Apple ID account.

It's important to note that deleting your Apple ID is permanent and cannot be undone. Apple warns that they cannot reopen, reactivate, or restore your account or data once it's deleted. Therefore, before proceeding with deletion, consider these alternatives:

🔍If you want to change your email address, you can simply change the email associated with your existing Apple ID without deleting the account.

🔍If you need to stop using your account temporarily, you can deactivate it instead of deleting it. Deactivation is reversible and keeps your data intact on Apple's servers.

🔍If you still decide to delete your Apple ID, make sure to back up any important data and review all the consequences before proceeding with the deletion process.
