Q: My daughter and I both have iPad Airs and we share my Apple ID. I assume it's for this reason that the iPads share settings automatically. For example, when I open Safari on my iPad her favorites appear. How can I stop this sharing of settings?

A:

I second Courcoul's suggestion. I resisted family sharing for a while, but it has worked very well since I switched. In the meantime, I believe you'll find the prompts you are looking for under Settings > iCloud. This page might also be helpful:

Don't share AppleIDs. They are meant to be individual.

If you want to share tunes, books and other goodies from the App Store, use Family Sharing instead.

TThanks, the sharing settings were the solution. The reason we share the ID is that she is 11 years old.
