Ever since the last IOS update, voicemail messages to my phone also go to my husband’s phone, and vice versa. How do we stop this from happening? I checked our phone settings and calls are only going to the number dialed and cal forwarding is off.
If my kids and I have shared an Apple ID for years how do we undo that so they don’t lose all their stuff on their phone?

No worries. Yes, in the early days of iPhone, people in the same family shared Apple IDs. We all pretty much did. But then Apple came out and said as far back as 2014 that this needs to change and explained all the disadvantages of doing so.
Yes, and we used to share Kindle accounts, because you couldn’t share content on different devices. You could “loan” books, but then you couldn’t read them while they were out on loan. But an account could have any number of devices. Amazon now has family Kindle accounts, but frankly, their setup is much easier than Apple’s Family Sharing. You just add another Amazon ID to your account and you can do 2 way sharing. There is no “organizer”, the members of the group are just peers.
Indeed. Things change. Kindle, huh? I haven't done anything through Kindle in years, but do remember having a Kindle account.
I went to my account with Amazon and we do have Kindle books there. There all still in our library. I completely forgot about them. I do a lot on Amazon. I'm a Vine reviewer for Amazon and have a special website where I go and can choose from thousands of items in loads of categories and get items shipped to me for free in return for an unbiased review. I get almost all my Apple Watch bands there as sellers offer some really interesting and nice bands. Free is a great thing!
Really!! That's FANTASTIC!! I get multiple items each week. I'm not looking forward to my tax statement this year! I'm also a TechInsider for BestBuy. They offer much higher priced items and I just can't help myself. I'm sure I've gotten over $5K from BestBuy this year.
Hoping for a current solution to the old phone voicemail issues.
by now, apple should have made line code changes to swift, in order to distinguish number isolation.
please give me the news if the problems of everyone under the same iCloud account gets everyone’s voicemail was corrected.

Apple doesn’t allow family sharing for items, and we can’t track them on the computer, so we share an ID. Fix that, and we can have separate IDs.
If by “Items” you mean AirTags, yes, they do, actually.

What items, specifically, doesn’t it allow sharing of?
Sorry. Just venting. I know all the pros and cons of sharing an Apple ID. I've been doing it for 17 years without any issues. And as I said, for years there was no other option.
Fair enough lobsterghost. As an old IT guy I just get a bit testy sometimes. Thanks!
Welp, I'm an old guy and we all get testy at times. Yes, we do!
We have hundreds of Kindle books. Just downloaded Pepys Diary; it was free.
We probably have Kindle books, but I don't even remember my account info anymore. Most of the books we read, we buy on Apple Books.
I’m a Vine reviewer also.
We being using the same ID since for ever me and my wife and we never had this problems before this last update 17.5.1. So why now?! Everything has a solution, we just need to find who knows how!
My voicemail messages are going to my husband’s phone, too.
