Apple finally allows you to move your digital purchases to another account
In surprising news, Apple has actually done something that could save you money. The company now allows users to Migrate purchases from one account in Apple to another. Transfers can include elements such as movies, books, music applications and more.
The only catch: You can only move purchases from your secondary account, the one you use for the media and purchases to your main account, the one that has entered the iCloud and most other features.
Before you start migration, check that you are logged in to both accounts of your device and that the secondary account is not part of Family sharing or sharing purchases. Then make sure you have a two -factor authentication for both accounts and that they are related to the same country and region. You will also need to spend residual balance and have no rental or pre -orders.
Then transfer your things by going to the Media and Purchase tab and scrolling to migrate purchases. Follow the steps of your screen and then, after the migration is over, exit your secondary account on all devices. As heads, you will no longer be able to use this other purchasing account.
US -based users can now migrate their purchases. However, the new feature is not yet available globally, as consumers in the European Union, UK and India cannot gain access to it.
