changing Apple ID

My husband has been using my Apple ID for his phone and iPad, but he's getting my text messages. How can I change the Apple ID on his devices/How can I create an Apple ID for his devices?

iPad Mini Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11.2.2

Use one of his devices. Sign out of your Apple ID. Then sign it back in following the "Create a new Apple ID" link. If he doesn't have an existing email address, make sure you follow the path that creates a new @icloud.com address for him (actually, I recommend this even if he does have a 3rd party email address). Then make sure you set up Messages etc on that device so that it's totally using the new Apple ID.


Now get his other device, sign out of your Apple ID, and into his new one. Make sure that his iPhone number is set up as the contact phone number for the new Apple ID, and that in Messages it doesn't have your phone number in his list.


Finally, go into Messages on your phone, and make sure that his phone number is not in your Messages list.
