An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.


If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.


If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

You can still share the same iCloud account and separate your iMessages and FaceTime calls. To do this you need to be using a separate Apple ID for these servers for each person on their devices. The ID used for iMessage and FaceTime does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
