Apple has announced that transferring purchases from one Apple Account to another is now possible, aiming to solve the issue of users having to juggle between multiple accounts due to locked purchases. This includes apps, music, and other content bought through an Apple Account. To transfer or merge accounts, both emails, phone numbers, and passwords of both accounts must be known. It must be specified which account will be the main account (where the data will be moved to) and the secondary account (from which the data will be moved out). The process of transferring data involves logging into the secondary account in Media & Purchases in Settings, while logging into iCloud for the main account. The secondary account must not be linked to Family Sharing; if it is, it must be unlinked first. Then, in Media & Purchases of the secondary account, select Migrate Purchases and follow the steps. Further details can be found on Apple’s support page.
TLDR: Apple now allows the transfer of purchases between Apple Accounts to solve the issue of locked purchases, requiring both account details and specifying a main and secondary account for the transfer process.
