sharing phone ID with son

I created an account on my iPhone ID so my son could use an old iPhone of mine. we seem to be linked as he was getting my emails and texts.


How do I revert back to just having one account for me know he is older.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

On his phone, sign out of iCloud : Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Then create a new Apple ID for him to use instead : How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support


Or you can erase everything off this phone so it can be set up as new for him with his own Apple ID after you’ve done that. See: Sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone - Apple Support
