Hi Hughfromga,


If iMessages are getting sent to the wrong devices that means they are likely using the same Apple ID. You'll want to make sure everyone is using their own individual account and set up a Family Sharing group. You can learn how to do that here: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


Making sure everyone has their own account is crucial in maintaining privacy and prevent information from being mistakenly deleted. We hope this helps.


Take care.
