Two iphones accidentally merged

Our mobile carrier required a shut off of our phones then restart. Accidentally did a "merge" of our two phones not realizing it merged the two phones and not the old.new data. How do I unmerge without messing up each other's phone? Thanks. One phone is a iphone 13 and the other is an iphone 11.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

Phone has 2 ESIMs; How to transfer just one I have two ESIMs on my iPhone 16. One is supposed to be for my daughter’s phone but somehow, I don’t remember how, it’s linked to my phone. How do I transfer the “Available SIM” (the one not used) to her iPhone? When I try to transfer, it tries to move MY phone number/ESIM to the other device and I don’t see an option to choose the other number/ESIM. Carrier is Cricket if that helps.

Can I use my SIM on another iPhone and keep its configuration? My late husband has an iphone12 and I have have iphone 7plus. My hubby had put a lot of time into setting up his depth icons, widgets etc. I lost all of my messages when I switched phones. What I'd like to know is if I can merge the two phones? Can I put my sim in and keep the changes he's made? Is there a way to save the messages between us? Technology was definitely my hubby's area and although I'm not usually hopeless I seem to be now he's gone. Any help would be appreciated. I thought about going into an apple store.

Not sure what this “merge” actually is. What did you do? If both phones are signed into the same iCloud account then they are going to have the same content on them. This is why each user should have their own account rather than trying share one (which simply causes chaos).
