Hey donmoore1532,


It sounds like you may be using the same Apple ID on your device that your wife is using on theirs.


This would be expected behavior, as downloaded apps are associated with the Apple ID rather than the device. We'd recommend using separate Apple ID's for each device to prevent that. You can see which Apple ID you're signed in on in Settings > [Your name].


If you need to create a new Apple ID, you can find the steps for that here: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support


Thanks!
