Contacts syncing with Apple ID

So my mom in my phone has her contact, but when I change my Apple ID photo is also changes her contact photo. So if I put in a picture of me for the Apple ID photo, my moms contact photo changes to that photo of me. I think it might have something to do with the fact we have family sharing, but it's very annoying. Is there any way I can fix it?

Hi there, m2xgallx3h.


It appears that when you change your contact photo in the Contacts app, your mom's also changes, and we're glad to help with this.


Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support -- Are you using the same Apple ID? This generally happens when an Apple ID is shared. With Family Sharing, everyone uses their own. 


How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support -- If that's the case, one of you will need to create an Apple ID of your own. Then have the organizer invite the person with the new ID back into Family Sharing.


Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.


All the best.
