Hey there Mac en France,


We understand the messages from your wife's iPhone appear on yours. We'd be happy to provide information about this.


The most common cause of this is that you're both signed into the same Apple ID on your devices. Check both devices and go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive to see which account is signed in. Tap the Apple ID that's highlighted in blue to sign out.


Let us know the results.

Kind regards.
