What is Apple ID?
You can access all Apple services, including the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more, with a free account called an Apple ID. It contains all of the contact, payment, and security information you use across all Apple services, as well as your email address and password that you use to sign in.

You need an Apple ID to do the following:
- Install applications from the App Store
- Purchase audiovisual media and books from the iTunes Store.
- Store your images, documents, and other items using iCloud.
- Send and receive iMessages with others.
- FaceTime your contacts.
- Log into your Apple products.
Either on your Apple device or the Apple ID website, you may create an Apple ID. You must provide your birthday, password, and email address when creating an Apple ID. A phone number can also be requested from you.

You must maintain the privacy of your Apple ID. Use a strong password and turn on two-factor authentication. When you login in to your Apple ID, you must input a code from your phone in addition to your password. You may reset your Apple ID and password if you have forgotten them. You can also get help from Apple.
How to Create Apple ID Without Phone Number?
For several Apple services, including the App Store, iCloud, and Apple Music, an Apple ID is necessary. A phone number is typically required when creating an Apple ID. There is, however, a method for creating an Apple ID without a phone number.
Here are the steps on how to create Apple ID without phone number:
- Go to the Apple ID website: https://appleid.apple.com/.
- Click Create Your Apple ID.
- Make a strong password and enter your email address.
- Select your date of birth and country or region.
- Click Continue.
- If you are asked to provide a phone number, click Skip.
- Read and agree to the terms and conditions, then click Create Apple ID.
Apple will send you a verification code through email. To finish the setup of your Apple ID, type the verification code.
If you do not have a phone number or do not want to provide your phone number to Apple, you can still create an Apple ID. However, there are some limitations to using an Apple ID without a phone number.
The following considerations should be made when creating an Apple ID without a phone number:
- Two-factor authentication, an additional layer of protection for your Apple ID, will not be available to you.
- You won’t be able to utilise Apple services like Find My iPhone that need a phone number.
- Your phone number cannot be used to reset your password if you lose it. For assistance, get in touch with Apple support.
The following advice will help you create a secure Apple ID:
- Use a different password for your Apple ID than you would for any other account.
- Make two-factor authentication available.
- Your Apple ID information should remain private.
- Never divulge your Apple ID password to a third party.
