Q: is it possible to delink my devices so they have different apps?

We have 2 iPhones and an iPad, but use one AppleID.  My wife and I want different apps on our phones.  Is it possible to delink the devices or is that done automatically because of the AppleID?

    Hi Gatorriz,

     

    If you don't want apps automatically downloading to all the devices when they are purchased and instead just the device you purchase the app on, you can turn off Automatic Downloads to achieve that as per this article:

     

    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

     

    Follow the steps for disabling Automatic Downloads (by content type) on your iPhone, your wife's iPhone, and the iPad.

     

    I hope this helps!  Cheers,
