There is a whole lot we don’t know about your particular setup. Here are a few examples:

  • Does your daughter have her own Apple Account? She absolutely should, regardless of her age.
  • Is her Apple Account the only one that has ever been used on her iPhone?
  • If not, was her iPhone thoroughly cleansed as follows before she “moved in”? What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  • Is her setting correct and only pointing to her storage location at Settings > Apps > Contacts > Contacts Accounts?
