Text messages crossing 2 phones

My wife recently upgraded her I phone. I took her old phone as mine and now some of her text messages will show up on my phone even though was not on her text. Also does same when I text someone but not all text. We each will see the reply from a single text sent to one person.

That's because you're sharing an Apple ID / iCloud account. Don't do that.

This is what should have been done to the phone you're using now before you got it: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
