My husband created family sharing and for our son his apple-ID. The phone that my son uses is my husband's old iPhone.My son could see all the contacts that my husband had on the iPhone. He had deleted most of them and those he could used he renamed.
BUT the renamed ones changed in my husband's iPhone as well despite the separate apple-IDs.
What have we done wrong? Or how can we correct this?
Thank you for your help!
Wish you a lovely day :)
iPhone 5s, iOS 10
Make sure that your husband is using a different Apple ID to your son.
I'd suggest going to Settings > Passwords & Accounts on your sons phone to make sure your husbands accounts have all been removed from here. It may be possible that some of your husbands contacts are saved in another internet account such as Google which may explain why changes are occurring on both your son and husbands phone.
For future reference, these issues could likely have been averted if you had properly reset the device before passing it onto your son. I would still recommend you do this to ensure none of your husbands passwords or personal data can be accessed by your son on the second hand device. See the steps over at What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support for steps on how to properly erase the device and set it up as new with your sons Apple ID.
Best of luck!
