how do I change a shared itune account?

My son recently downloaded the FindMyPhone app and used my iTunes account ID and PW. He is now able to see all of my texts and iTunes downloads from the app store. I'd like to change this so he can no longer do this. Thanks in advance.

Erase his phone, create an Apple ID for your son, set up the device with his Apple ID and use family sharing if he wants to use your purchases:

Apple - My Apple ID

Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing

Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing


Don't forget to deactivate "Find my iPhone" before you erase it, to be able to set it up with the new Apple ID.

What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

iCloud: Activation Lock


Changing your Apple ID and password is more complicated than giving him his Apple ID.
