The only fix is to stop sharing the Apple ID. You may want to look into a Family Sharing plan that will allow you to share subscriptions and maintain separate ID's for each user.

Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


The Apple ID is a personal ID used for a single person. It should only be used on the devices for that person to share data. Apple has recommended that each family member should be using their own Apple ID.
