Q: Multiple IDs

I have an apple ID with 3 phones on it. I would like to set my daughter up separately so that she has her own ID but is still attached to our iTunes account. I'm not a fan of the cloud because my texts and pics get sent to her and I don't want that. Is there a way to set her up separate from my phone?

    You can set up Family Sharing. That would allow you to create an Apple ID for her, and you have the option to approve or deny any purchases she makes. In addition, you can share purchases and contribute to a Family calendar and photo album.

    Also, to be clear, iCloud wouldn't cause you to be receiving each other's Text Messages. That would occur if you were using the same Apple ID for iMessage.

    Thank you!

     

    Ive gone under the settings in my daughters iPhone and iPad and created the family sharing. But I want to make sure it's correct. When I go to her iCloud, it shows me a the top and then her below. But when I accept the family sharing on my phone it tells me I have already accepted it. Which I did when I did it for her iPad. I'm so confused.

     

    Under iTunes on her phone and iPad I see her email (that I created for her Apple ID). So is it just supposed to be there on the iTunes section or the iCloud as well? I don't really use iCloud because I don't want her getting all my stuff or me hers.
