Apple ID

If i add my husbands email or phone number under my apple ID would it mess up mine or his?


Would i be able to receive his messages but he can't receive mine through apple ID ?

A phone number can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. If you sign in to your husband's Apple ID, data from his device would sync to your device and your data would sync to his device. If you have to monitor his Messages, add his email only to Messages/FaceTime. You can add the email as an additional email address on your Apple ID.

Now would it work if i added his email that he uses for his apple ID underneath mine ? And would it work to switch back and forth from my apple ID to my husbands and vise versa ?

Because i tried his number last night underneath me and it would not go through his email worked but i didn't go through with it because i don't know if i would mess anything up on his end.
