Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have an iPhone and an iPad both having the same Apple ID. Messages on my iPhone appear on my iPad as well. The iPad is used by my wife, so every time I send or receive a message she is able to read them giving me no privacy. I would like to stop my messages going to my iPad. How can I do that?
iPad, iOS 10
Are you sharing an AppleID? If so, this is the cause of your problem. iPad and iPhone are designed to be single-user devices.
If all your devices are sharing a common AppleID for iCloud and other Apple services, you will encounter all kinds of issues with unintentional and/or unwanted sharing of sensitive/private information (including Messages).
The Golden Rule: Don’t share an AppleID between users. Each user should have their own AppleID for their own exclusive use - linked to their own primary email (and secondary/recovery email addresses and trusted telephone numbers).
You would be best advised to separate your digital identities and configure a new AppleID for each user
After separating your identities, you can continue to selectively share purchased Apple Services, Subscriptions, Apps and Media using Apple’s Family Sharing features.
