create a new id for one phone, share photos and music on both
My wife and I suddenly see the same texts, same calls and even phone messages. How do we create a new id for one phone and then share photos, music and apps?

Hi cooperbandh,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! As noted in the resource below “Your Apple ID should not be shared with anyone else. It provides access to personal information including contacts, photos, device backups, and more. Sharing your Apple ID with someone else means you are giving them access to all your personal content and may lead to confusion over who actually owns the account. To share purchases, photos, a calendar, and more with someone else, try Family Sharing, iCloud Photo Sharing, or other easy-to-use sharing features.”:
If you want to create a new Apple ID, here's how: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support
And if you're asking about Family Sharing, this will help you get set up: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
We bought both our phones together, they are set up with one account with Verizon. We are not trying to separate phones or functions except texts and phone calls. What is the best way to handle that? My wife has an iPhone 13 Pro and I have an iPhone 14 Pro.
Hello cooperbandh,
The only option is Family Sharing. If you share an Apple ID, or even signed them in on both devices, the data will mix. The only option is listed above, using your own Apple ID accounts on each device, and sharing purchases, and the shared calendars, photo albums, etc.
Thanks.
