I was airdropping pictures and my iPad said I would appear as mum and when i was updating my contacts whenever i changed either mine or my mums contact (picture or name) it would change both of our contact profiles.
I think we have a shared account but I don’t know how to change it or what’s even happening
iPad Air, iPadOS 17
Are you sharing an AppleID? Sharing an AppleID between users is a very bad idea.
If all your devices are sharing a common AppleID for iCloud, you’ll encounter all kinds of issues with unintentional and/or unwanted sharing of sensitive/private information (including data stored in Contacts, Calendar, Messages, Photos etc.). You’ll not be able to reliably maintain any kind of data separation.
The Golden Rule: Don’t share an AppleID between users. Each user should have their own AppleID for their own exclusive use - linked to their own primary email (and secondary/recovery email addresses and trusted telephone numbers).
As a first step, check that each of your devices are signed-in with the correct User's AppleID:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID]
