I don’t want my child to have access to my photo library. On her ipad, how do I get her her own photo library? Make a new apple ID?

Sharing an AppleID between users is a bad idea.


Your child should have their own AppleID - in fact, every user should have their own AppleID. This is essential to maintain intended separation of activities and to avoid unintended sharing of unintended information and data. Done properly, you’ll not have any issues with content related to your child appearing on your own devices.


You may find this information to be helpful with setting-up an AppleID for a minor - and in considering appropriate controls while continuing to share Apps and paid Apple services if you should choose to do so:
