why my texts show up on a family members ipad

My husband got a new Ipad. He thought he was setting up a new Apple account rather than using Apple account as before. Now he is seeing my text messages from my phone and ipad. In settings both my Iphone and ipad show his ipad as one of the three accounts. I removed his ipad from my account but it still shows. Do I need to be doing something else?


iPad Air 3, iPadOS 17

He will need to log out of your Apple ID on his iPad. If he goes to Settings > [name on top], it is likely showing your Apple ID and he will need to log out and use an Apple ID of his own.

I would add that it would be best to Factory Reset his device to completely wipe it. Otherwise there will still be apps on the device that you had and he will not be able to update them without your Apple ID/Password.

He can create a new Apple ID when setting it up after a Factory Reset.
