My wife and I share an iCloud account. Don't know if that is Germaine or not.
We walk for exercise. When walking her iPhone displays her walking information. Later in the day, her iPhone started displaying the data from my iPhone for her walking.
These are iPhone 12s using SW version 15.1.1
Any help is appreciated.

TBS2,
Yes, that is correct. However, it may be worth reviewing this resource and the information below: Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID
"Avoid sharing an Apple ID
Apple recommends that you do not share your Apple ID. Instead, set up Family Sharing so that each person uses their own Apple ID. This way, your family can share purchases, subscriptions, and more without sharing personal information like email, text messages, or passwords.
If you share your Apple ID with a family member, certain services will treat you as the same person. You might see these issues:
Best wishes.
Hi TBS2,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, it sounds like some Health and activity data is syncing between two iOS devices and you're sharing an Apple ID. Is that right?
Generally speaking, it's recommended to Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID. In this case, it sounds like you might have Health syncing turned on under Settings > [name] > iCloud. Is that turned on? Back up your Health data on iPhone
If that doesn't seem to account for it, we recommend contacting Apple with this link: Get Support
Take care.
Thank you for your response. If I understand by turning off the iCloud backup for the Health APP then the Health data is kept on the iPhone, not in the iCloud. We could then share the Apple ID so the Contacts, Photos, and such would be shared. Is that correct?
Thank you very much for your help. Two more details -- for consistency's sake I try to keep a single copy of the Contacts data. Does the "Family Sharing" set up provide for sharing the Contacts data? Also our Photo stream. Will "Family Sharing" keep the Photos the same on all sharing devices.
Again, I appreciate your time and effort in helping us.

TBS2,
With Family Sharing, the Contacts and Photos are kept separate. However, you can use a shared photo album if you did want to share some of the photos between the two Apple IDs.
Kind regards.
Thanks again for your help. I think we're OK now going forward.
