Contacts syncing on 2 iPhones but only want them on 1 device

My wife’s contacts are also syncing across to my iPhone. She shares the same iCloud account as me, but how do I disable seeing her contacts?


iPhone 7, iOS 12

One or both of you would need to turn off Settings < [username] > iCloud > Contacts on your phone.

The better option (although potentially painful in the transition) would be to stop sharing Apple IDs. You can do that and still share purchases via Family Sharing: Family Sharing - Apple Support
