When I send an iMessage from my iPad it is received by my friend but also received by her husband. If I send the same message from my iPhone it works properly, in other words my friend receives the message but not her husband. How can I fix this situation so that when sending a message from my iPad it only goes to the intended recipient?
iPad, iPadOS 14

Regardless, you can send the message to your friend by making sure it's addressed to her iPhone telephone number and not an Apple ID.
