Messages are messed up between two phone numbers on one apple ID

Since I got my new iphone 11 last week and gave my iphone XR to my husband, he is not receiving texts from me (or anyone for that matter) . When he texts me, it shows as coming from myself (my name), too myself (my name) and I see both the 'send' and 'receive' in the same text string.

We share me appleID

This happens everytime I switch phones and give him my old one and I always forget to note the settings before I transfer the data.

HELP!

You might have success with erasing the iPhone you gave him and setting it up again, assuming nothing important has been saved on it yet (you can always make a backup). I wouldn't bet on it, though.

As SrvanKrA stated, you really shouldn't share an Apple ID. It's unnecessary, especially with the advent of Family Sharing.

I understand that. Thank you. I'm looking for how to fix it however as it was working fine before I switched phones, so it can be fixed in settings, I just don't know how
