The first “Shared Accounts” appeared with the release iOS 5, but at that time this phenomenon was not widespread, because only a few knew about it. Then the popularity of such accounts began to increase, and the number of services that offered such accounts increased significantly.
Using the “General Account” made it possible to purchase Apple ID with already purchased programs, games, music and movies, and then completely legally, without jailbreak, install all this content on your iPhone And iPad. Of course, using such a scheme violated the license agreement iTunes, but users of this method were little concerned about this.
By purchasing a “Shared Account” once for a small amount, you can get access to a huge number of applications and games from someone else’s Apple ID, however, this method has a number of disadvantages. Around April last year Apple blocked hundreds of such accounts, so buyers actually wasted money.
Of course, no one will return the money to you for a blocked account, so you will have to buy access to a new account using a new one or be left with nothing. If you download the application from some Apple ID, then its further updating is possible only from the same “Apple” account, so the user is tied to the service almost forever.
Passwords in such accounts change every day, and sometimes several times per hour, so you will have to find out the password each time before logging into your account. Recently, accounts have begun to be blocked very often, and cases of fraud have also become more frequent, so it is impossible to say exactly how long one such account will last Apple ID.
The main danger when using someone else's Apple ID is a service iCloud, through which your device can be blocked. Of course, it is unlikely that an experienced user can be persuaded into iCloud and enable the item "Find iPhone", but there are only a few such people and scammers take advantage of this. By blocking the device through the service "Find iPhone" it will be possible to restore it only by learning the new password from Apple ID, which you will be offered to buy for a large sum.
Don’t fall for the tricks of scammers and don’t use the “Shared Account”, because it’s much more effective to honestly buy applications and games on Apple ID, which will remain with you forever and no one will block or steal it.
Until October 13 inclusive, everyone has the opportunity to use Xiaomi Mi Band 4, spending only 1 minute of their personal time on it.

In general, yes. But for this you need to create your account. And right now we will look at what these accounts are, how to create, change and find them “for free”.
Registration in the App Store - for what and for whom?
Essentially, Apple ID is a single account for all applications of the Apple family, which allows you to buy applications in the App Store without additional registrations, save programs of interest, buy music and video content in the iTunes application, download and read a book in the iBook application, synchronize mail and contacts , notes, etc. in the iCloud cloud service, communicate via the iChat application, etc.

So, as you yourself probably already understood, you definitely need to register your account, and the sooner the better, because, of course, it’s possible to live without an account on an iPhone, but it’s not interesting or practical.
How to register in the App Store
In order to create an App Store account, your phone must be connected to the Internet in any way convenient for you.
Procedure:
- It is imperative that the password contains numbers.
- The password must contain both lowercase (small) letters and CAPITAL (large) letters.
- Do not repeat the same symbol three times in a row.
- Space cannot be used.
Secret question(also called a “security question”) is used only if the password has been hopelessly forgotten, or you simply need to change the password. In any case, if you forget it, it will come in handy.
- Go ahead. And then we have the date of birth and subscription to newsletters. If you don't want to receive news, don't subscribe.
- Well, the last stage is registering a payment card. If you logged in through a paid application, you must select the type of payment card. And if you do not want to enter payment card details, select “no” in the list of offered payment card types and go to the next page using the “NEXT” button.
That's practically all. An email will be sent to the email address you provided to confirm your registration. To do this, simply follow the link sent.
How to change your App Store account
The need to change your account may arise if you bought an iPhone second-hand (may the gods of the radio market be merciful to you!), and you are not at all interested in the account in the App Store of the previous owner.
This can be done in several ways:
- using iTunes;
- or directly through the iPhone itself.
It is important to note that changing your account (Apple ID) is only possible if you registered a mailbox hosted on mail.ru, yandex, etc. servers as a login. If your email ends with @icloud.com, @mac.com or @me.com, then, unfortunately, you will not be able to change your account.
In order to change your account using a computer or tablet, just go to the Apple ID management page, log in using your existing account and password.
Also, sometimes you may need to change your account in the app store not completely, but only change the country of registration. This question becomes popular if you need to download any application you are interested in, designed and developed for residents of another country. You can also do it on this same page.
What is a free shared App Store account, what are its benefits and where to find it
So, you’ve already created your personal App Store account, let’s also talk about the phenomenon of a shared account.
Shared accountAppstore will be a real find for those who do not want to pay for paid applications (which is certainly a rarity J).
How it works? For example, you create an account and buy paid applications, and then sell access to your account to other users for nominal money. In this case, the larger and more diverse the selection of applications offered in the seller's account, the more there will be people willing to purchase a registration for it.
This method is mutually beneficial for both parties, is fair and works on all Apple devices. So there's nothing to worry about.
If you decide to purchase shared App Store accounts, here's some advice: the most important thing is to find a resource that is trustworthy and check the seller to avoid possible troubles.
You can find a shared account through the VKontakte application by entering “ @icloud.com" or "general appstore account". The search results will be posts with appstore accounts. Choose fresh posts and carefully read the conditions for purchasing an account.
The resulting Appstore account will allow you to purchase the entire range of applications purchased in this account. You just need to select the application you are interested in and install it on your device. As they say, to each according to his needs.
Not all iPhone and iPad users can afford to buy any content they want on the AppStore. For example, the prices for some games, especially new ones, are downright steep. This is where a shared account on the App Store comes to the rescue. Its advantages are obvious:
- free access to paid games, applications and media content available in the AppStore public profile catalog;
- downloading distributions from the official source, without modifications, hacking or Jailbreak procedures;
- participation in the formation of the account directory (you can ask the owner to add an application of interest).
Operating principle
A shared AppStore account can be created by any user. After registration, he purchases paid content and then posts his profile credentials (login and password) on social networks (on a personal page or in a group) or on his website. To allow other users to access paid content.
Is everything really free?
Yes, some shared Apple accounts are completely free. This is done for advertising purposes, for example, to promote a VKontakte group or your own blog or web resource.
But there are also paid shared accounts. They are provided for a fee. Nevertheless, they allow you to significantly save on purchasing applications in the App Store.
The user can download games and utilities from the profile catalog, the cost of which significantly exceeds the amount spent for access.
There are special stores on the Internet that sell general profiles (appstarshop.com, appstoreshop.com, etc.). On these sites you can select collections exactly according to your preferences (for example, Magazine, Games, Movies, etc.).
