Husband and I share same Apple ID

My husband and I share one Apple ID. In the beginning it was OK. But it has become increasingly difficult. Now whenever I text anyone, his picture shows up not mine and visa versa.


MacBook, macOS 13.7

Apple does not recommend sharing your Apple ID with another person. The design is to make multiple devices for a single person work as if they are the same device. For example, you can start an email on one device and finish on the other or receive a message on one device and answer it on another.
