Q: Trouble Texting After IOS Update
My wife and I share the same iphone account. Last night my wife updated her iphone 6 to the new ios 9.3.2. After the update, when she sends a text message, the messages say they are coming from my phone and not hers. What can we do to fix the problem. Thanks
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.2

This happens because you're sharing the same apple id for message and probably facetime.
Use this link to remove the apple id from her phone Add or remove your phone number to iMessage or FaceTime on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
She should get her own apple id, but you can still use http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/ Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support to share apps and music.
