STOP 2 IPHONES FROM SYNCING

BARBART,

Thank you for explaining in more detail. Your iPhone devices are using the same account with iCloud Photos enabled. Any photos taken or deleted on either iPhone will be reflected on both devices. It’s essentially the same for your call history and all the account information and settings, so we can definitely see how this could become confusing.

• You mentioned that you think you created another Apple ID with a different email address. We would start by checking to see if the account was created successfully using your name and the email address you used here: Recover Your Apple ID - Apple

If you find the Apple ID, try to reset the password or recover the account: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support.

If you don't find it, you can create a new Apple ID here: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support

• Once you have reset your password or a new account and you’re able to log into the other Apple ID on the Apple ID website, you’re ready to change the Apple ID account on your iPhone. This article will help from here:

Manage Apple ID and iCloud settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Go to Settings > [his name] and scroll to the bottom to Sign Out of his Apple ID. You can then sign into your own on your iPhone.

It's important to keep in mind that your Apple ID syncs things like Photos, Contacts, and Calendars. If you need to save any of these on your iPhone go to Settings > [his name] > iCloud and disabled those features one at a time. When you disable them you should be prompted to keep the content on your iPhone. Then after you sign into your new Apple ID you should be prompted to merge that content with your new iCloud account. This is the best way to ensure you don't lose any important data.

If you have purchased content from the App Store, iTunes Store, Books Store, or other Apple store you may want to consider setting up Family Sharing.

We realize this is a lot of information to take in! If you have questions about any of these steps, please let us know.

All Our Best

Hello, BARBART.

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you have two iPhone devices that are using the same Apple ID, but you don’t want the content to sync between the two devices. If one of the devices belongs to another person the best way to keep the two from syncing is to use a separate Apple ID. 

How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support

If you prefer to use the same Apple ID, we may be able to help you disable some of the sync settings on one or both of them, but we want to be highly transparent in our advice that you should really only use one Apple ID per person. If you have two devices that belong to two different people, it’s very hard to keep the two from syncing in some form because your Apple ID is designed to allow continuity across all of your Apple devices. This website will show you a list of everywhere your Apple ID is used on your iPhone. Each of these services will show the same content across both of our devices if you use the same Apple ID:

• Which aspects of your iPhone do you not want syncing with the other iPhone? We'll see if we can help.

Warmest Regards.

One of you needs to start anew with a new Apple ID.

• Whose Apple ID has the associated valid credit card keeps the current Apple ID

• The other (you or your husband) should start fresh by erasing the iPhone in

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

• After that, create a new Apple ID with an unused valid e-mail address, see instructions here => https://appleid.apple.com

• Once it's done, the Apple ID with the credit card should setup Family sharing to share books, music and apps purchases.
• Instructions here => Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
• The family organiser can then invite up to 5 family member to join.

Now, the invited family member(s) can download all the apps that the family organiser has bought without sharing Apple ID.

Yes, they can do that for you.
