Separate devices from each other

I gave my old iphone5 to my mother. She does not have an apple ID, and does not need it, she uses iphone just to make calls, uses viber and makes photos.

However, all photos which i make on my other devices go to her iphone5 and vice versa. How can i disconnect iphones from each other in order not to share all photos?

iPhone 5, iOS 10

One of you will need to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316 See the data implications below.

 

Some of these things will apply to your situation even though you are not changing your Apple IDWhat to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

 

 Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.
