What you’re describing is perfectly normal and fully expected (mis)behavior, when multiple people are sharing the same Apple ID. There’s no way to run entirely separate devices on the same Apple ID.


Each person can and should have their own Apple ID, and then maybe with Family Sharing configured and enabled to share purchases and media content and such.


To migrate to separate Apple IDs with minimal loss of data, see these two threads:
