Seperating iphones

I am asking for a friend who is not good with tech, her and her husband have an iphone each and an ipad, they have used the same id on all three devices but this is causing problems and they want to seperate them, how can they do this without losing all their photos and other shared data? I tried setting up new id but it just changes on both the phones? what am i doing wrong? any help grateful thanks.

Hi missapps65, 

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


It is suggested that each user has their own Apple ID linked with only the devices that they use. Once each person has their own Apple ID set up, Family Sharing can be enabled to share purchases and more. 


The following Apple Support articles provide more details on these features and how they can be managed: 



Please reply back if you have any additional questions. 

Cheers!
