Why are my podcasts being sync'd to my husband's iPhone, and visa versa

We've had a family account for several years. No changes have been made recently. We each log into our own, separate ID.


For some reason, this morning, my husband noticed my podcasts on his phone. When I looked at my phone, I saw his podcasts.


How can we stop this cross-sharing of podcasts that we have not initiated? And, more importantly, how can we prevent the cross-sharing of other personal things that we have not shared with one another (pdfs, photos, passwords, etc)?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

We each use our own iPhone, logged in using our own account, using the native Podcast apple app.

We have made NO changes to either account and NO recent changes to the family sharing account.


This is something which occurred out of the blue and it has us both stumped.


We both keep our iOS updated and there was one last week. Though I wouldn't think that would be related, stranger things have happened during our 15 year history with iPhones


Any experts out there who might have suggestions? Anyone else have a glitch occur with new iOS updates?
