If I have 2 phones that share the same iCloud account, if I download one app on one phone does it download on he other one?

If I have 2 phones that share the same iCloud account, if I download one app on one phone does it download on he other one? I gave one to my kid but they are out on a visitation.

They may, depending on how you have set Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads.


Also note that it is generally recommended that each person use their own Apple ID rather than sharing the same one. You can do that and still share selected things, if desired, by using Family Sharing. https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
