Yes, you can use multiple Apple IDs on one iPhone, but not simultaneously for everything. Switch between IDs in the App Store or for specific apps like iMessage or FaceTime. To switch IDs, go to Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases, sign out, and sign back in with the new Apple ID. This allows access to apps purchased under different IDs, but some features will remain tied to the primary Apple ID used for iCloud. Manage carefully to avoid losing data.
