Husband and wife’s phones sharing everything

I updated to the 15 Pro Max and gave my husband my 13 Pro Max. His 13 gets all my texts and email. How do I separate our phones?

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

You didn’t properly sign out and erase the phone so he could set it up with his own information. You need to follow the steps at What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

So far, it sounds like your phone and your husbands phone are using same Apple ID.


All that you can do is try the following to see if helps with Messages.


On your phone......

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap on Messages

Tap Send & Receive


Make sure that the only check mark is next to your phone number


On your husbands's phone.....

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap on Messages

Tap Send & Receive


Make sure that the only check mark is next to your husband's phone number


No guarantees, but worth a try. For the future......Every user needs to have their own Apple ID.
