iPad iMessage help?
My wife and I each have iPhones and MacBooks and iPads. We share an account. Recently all my iMessages from my phone number started showing up on her iPad. Can I fix this?

Yes you can.
On her iPad go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached for iMessage at>Uncheck your phone number. Then tap add another email address for your wife to use for Messages. I'm sure she has her own email address. Then let Apple verify the email address, check that as the email address that she uses for messages.
Take a look at his.

Either I missed it the first time around or you edited your post. Doesn't matter... If she wants to link her iPhone number to Messages look at this and read it all the way to the end.
