2 phones with same Apple ID photos

We have two phones with the same Apple ID, and both just updated to iOS 12: mine any my father's (I am playing for the Cloud storage...).

Tonight he told me that he is has all my photos in his phone!!!!! ALL 😳.

I would love ideas on how to fix this.

I do not have access to his iPhone (he is in an other country).

Thank you!

If you both use the same Apple ID, any data that is synced with iCloud will sync to both phones. Sharing an Apple ID is not recommended for that reason.

The following has information about syncing with iCloud Photos and the second link has information about turning it off:

Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
