Using Apple services on Android smartphones is always a hectic task. As an Android user, I never had an Apple ID.

After a lot of research, I figured out a way to create a new Apple ID on Android smartphones and tablets.

If you want to know how to create a new Apple ID using non-Apple devices, this guide is curated for you. Here, I’ve explained all the possible ways to create a new Apple ID.

How to Create Apple ID on Android Using a Web Browser

Using a web browser is the easiest option to create an Apple ID without an iPhone. Here, you don’t need to configure the credit or debit card during the sign-up process.

1. Open a browser on your Android smartphone. We recommend using Google Chrome.

2. Go to appleid.apple.com and expand the drop-down next to Apple ID. Optionally, you can go to icloud.com. Tap Sign In and follow the on-screen instructions.

3: Tap on the Create your Apple ID option.

4: Fill in the required credentials like first name, last name, country, birthday, email address, password, country code, and phone number.

After creating the Apple ID, you can link a payment method with your account to make the transaction easily.

1. Visit appleid.apple.com from any browser.

2. Click Sign In and sign in with your Apple ID. Skip this step if you’re already signed in.

3. Click Payment Methods and select Manage payment method.

4. Input the payment details and click on Update. Verify your payment method by entering the code that you have received to the registered mobile number or email address.

How to Create a New Apple ID using iTunes

1. Open the iTunes app on your Windows PC. If you don’t have the app, install it from the Microsoft Store.

2. Click the Account option on the top and choose Sign In.

3. On the Sign In pop-up, click the Create New Apple ID button.

5. Then, click the Continue button.

6. On the next screen, enter your First Name, Last Name, DOB, and Security Questions. Then, click the Continue button.

8. Now, a verification code will be sent to your registered mail ID. Enter the code and click the Verify button to verify your email ID.

9. Within a few seconds, you will get the Apple ID Completed screen. Tap the Continue button to access Apple services on your Windows PC.

Secure Apple ID By Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Since Apple ID is the gateway for all Apple services, you must protect it with various security features. Even though a strong password is good enough to secure your account, you can enable two-factor authentication.

1. Visit https://appleid.apple.com/ and log in to your account.

2. Go to the Security section and tap the Edit option in the top right corner.

3. Make sure that two-step verification is enabled.

After enabling this, you need to provide your Apple ID password and a six-digit verification code while signing in on new devices. The code will be sent to the Apple devices configured with the same Apple ID.
