Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
my wife and two kids both have iphones. when the iphones were purchased they used my apple id to set up the phones. now all text messages(from all three phones) are being received to my wife's phone. I am not sure how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

Everyone needs to have their own Apple ID. Apple IDs aren't meant to be shared.
If your family members are 13 years old or older.
If they are under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID for them.
Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child
When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing to keep access to your apps/purchases.
