Contacts help I recently got an IPhone 11 and gave my son my old IPhone 8. I synced my new phone at the store using the cloud and got all my info. My son took his SIM card from his old phone to put in the Iphone8. Now our contacts are linked. If he adds one or deletes one I had it also does the same on my phone and vice versa. How do I fix this issue?

Contacts I got my son his first iPhone and my contacts shows up under his contacts. We have separate apple ids and we used my son’s Apple ID when we setup his new phone. I went into iCloud and turned it off on both phones and then deleted them from my son’s phone. I saved them to my phone so they didn’t get lost. Is there a way to have our contact’s backup to iCloud but remain separate?

Synced contacts with other phone My brother passed down his old iPhone because he got a new one and just now he has been getting the contacts which I add to my phone over and over again which he has to delete by hand. I have checked iCloud but it says I have nothing synced and I have checked everything else but I can't find anything that says I am synced with another phone.

Did you do any of this before you sold your iPhone: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If the iPhone is still signed into your account it is, in effect, still yours and you will continue to receive the new owner's edits to Contacts - among other things.
