Can I change my Apple iCloud ID to my Gmail

my husband just got an IPhone (his first) at the Verizon store. The guy said he needed an ICloud account to start. I can’t switch his iCloud account to his Gmail account. All the App’s I am trying to get into the cloud. Do I have to go to the store to update?

Here's how you change the email address you use for your Apple ID:


1. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in.

2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.

3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.

4. Choose Change Apple ID.

5. If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email. --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

6. If you use services like iCloud or Messages to share with friends and colleagues, sign in to those services with your updated Apple ID. --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
