Hi, I'm sure there is a very simple explanation / fix for this, but does anyone know why I get notification on my iPhone when someone else in the house is using Safari on another Apple device? It is causing a few issues particularly when trying to search for gifts etc using Safari. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers! Mike
Hi MIKEYHNY2020,
It sounds like you may be getting notifications on your device when someone else is using a different Apple device in the house. We want to help out.
When this happens, typically it is happening when devices are using the same Apple ID. If that's the case, this feature is called Handoff and allows you to continue tasks on other devices. Read more about that here: Use Handoff to continue a task on your other devices
If you'd like to, you can turn off Handoff to allow those devices to continue using the same Apple ID across all devices. The previous article will guide you through enabling and disabling that feature.
On the other hand, you can also set up Family Sharing for your devices where each person can have their own Apple ID. Learn more about Family Sharing here: Family Sharing
This should help to clear that up for you.
Have a great weekend!

Fantastic. Thanks so much for that Brendan. I'd have been searching for that forever!
