My husband and I are on the same Apple account with a phone number for him and a phone number for me. He is unable set up a picture in ”Shared Name and Photo”. I have set one up for myself. We have deselected each other’s phone numbers in Message settings and Face Time settings. How do we fix this? Thanks

iPhone XR, iOS 13

How do you fix it? You stop sharing an AppleID. AppleIDs are Apple’s unique personal identifier for Apple services and were never intended to be shared. In order to have control of your own data and settings, avoid data merging, avoid unintended data deletions, and to have any privacy of data, you both need to have and use your own personal AppleIDs for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc.


You can use family sharing to share purchased content and/or an iCloud storage subscription.
