Q: Apple Watch Touch Issues.

My wife and I recently got each other watches. We both use the same iCloud logon for the storage, music, shared calendar and notes. When trying to use apple touch, we cannot communicate with each other and if I communicate with someone else with a watch it comes to both of us. Not sure if there is a fix for this or not. Any insight would be helpful. I've tried logging out of iCloud on each of our phones then the watches will send messages back and forth. It's a big pain in the neck and I'm hoping for a easy fix or these might be going on ebay for the $$.

    Hi

     

    You may find it helpful to create a separate iCloud Apple ID for either you or your wife and then set up Family Sharing.

     

    Under Family Sharing, you can each have your own Apple ID for iCloud, which should resolve your Digital Touch issue after your devices have been reconfigured accordingly.

     

    Under Family Sharing, all eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books and apps that have ever been purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. Family Sharing also provides a shared family calendar (events from all calendars on your iPhone are automatically shown on Apple Watch).

     

    You would each also receive a separate 5GB of free iCloud storage space.
