I am using the same Apple ID on my iPad and iPhone, however I don’t want all the photos that’s on the iPad to be on my phone, how can I prevent this from happening? Also i have a different SIM card in my iPad but because I am using the same Apple ID it’s linked my iPhone number to the iPad. How can I fix this please?
You can selectively enable/disable Photo and data sharing and synchronisation from device settings.
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud
If you don’t wish to share/synchronise photos, from settings:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos - set to OFF
As for the DataSIM installed in your iPad, understand that an iPad (whether a Cellular model or not) is not capable of directly accessing Cellular Voice or SMS/MMS Messaging features. An iPad with either WiFi or Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services. If you have added a DataSIM and Cellular plan to a WiFi+Cellular model of iPad, the number associated with the SIM card is only used to identify your account for billing purposes. This number is not used for making calls or sending messages.
However, when paired with an iPhone, the capabilities of iPad significantly broaden to include access to Cellular Voice and Messaging services of the associated iPhone - relayed to the iPad over WiFi using Apple’s continuity features.
