Hello Brookemacie,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Sharing an account with another user is certainly not recommend. This is because each user should have their own Apple ID and Setup Family Sharing instead.

The best option is to sign into the same Apple ID on both of your devices to synchronize your data.

Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing - Apple Support
