iMessage issues

Suddenly, my daughters phone and mine seem to be doing the same thing in iMessage. For example, my wife is now “mom” in my messages because that is what my daughters phone has her as. I found that my daughters number and mine are both listed under iMessage and FaceTime but I can’t delete hers. It wants me to “de-register” her number. I am afraid to do that because I need hers to continue to work for her. Any suggestions?

Might you and your daughter be using the same Apple ID? If so, stop doing that immediately.


If you were doing this, thoroughly and completely cleanse her iPhone as follows:
