Two iPhones plus iCloud = confusion
Like many users, my wife and I each have our own iPhones, we share an iPad, and we share an iTunes account for purchases. It appears that the default settings for iCloud presume one user with multiple devices, not multiple users with multiple devices.
We migrated our phones to iOS 5 and enabled iCloud (I have not upgraded the iPad yet), using the same iCloud account for both phones. Sounds great, but a few issues which I'm sure have easy solutions, I just don't know what they are:
1- Our Contacts lists merged. I have hers, she has mine, duplicates galore oh my!
2- Our conversations are synched! She is in my phone as "Wifey", I am in her phone as "Hubby". Whenever she sends me a message, it shows up as "from Hubby", when I send her a message it shows up under "to Wifey". Our conversations are no longer kept together in one "conversation view".
Ideally, I want it to work like this:
1- I want my phone's stuff to go to the cloud
2- I want her phone's stuff to go to the cloud
3- The only "stuff" of ours that should mingle are iTunes purchases and photos
Is the correct resolution to this as simple as creating a separate iCloud ID for her phone? If so, how do I re-do this step on her phone? Looking at my phone, I do not see a way to "log out" of iCloud so as to gain access to a "login or create new user" function.
Once this is done, I presume this means no photo sharing.
If there is a way to "fix" our conversations and keep everything else, I can manage to edit our merged Contacts list. But honestly, I don't want her text messages showing up on my phone... I really don't care about conversations she has with our Dog Groomer or her sister.
Thanks!
