How do I get my daughters phone number off of my new phone

We just bought new phones and for some reason she can’t get her messages on her phone because it’s linked to my phone number or Apple ID we don’t know

You are sharing an Apple ID. You both need your own Apple ID. Then you can use Family Sharing and if she is a minor, use Parental Controls.

If this is too much for you, since they are new phones, you can schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for help.

Immediately stop sharing an Apple ID. Each person, regardless of age, needs her/his own Apple ID.


The person getting a new Apple ID needs to thoroughly cleanse her/his iPhone as follows:

Then that person “moves in” to the like-new iPhone using only material (s)he personally owns.


Family Sharing is an option.
