How do I stop my apps from being downloaded to multiple devices on my AppleID?

My daughter's phone is also attached to my AppleID, and has been for a long time. I recently changed over from android to iOS and the apps that I download to my device are being downloaded to hers at the same time. How do I separate the devices on my ID?

iPhone X, iOS 11.2.6

I want to stop sharing my apps to another device So, I use a iCloud which is only used for my iPhone 6s and my iPad and another iCloud which is used by my dad for my AppStore. Now when I buy or install an application from my iPad it suddenly installs on my fathers iPhone 12 mini but not on my fathers or Mather’s other apple devices. So is there any way I can stop that from happening ??

How can I stop apps from showing up on all of my iOS devices? If I download an app or delete an app on my iPad it does the exact same thing on my iPhone. I added a few apps to my iPad last night and they all downloaded onto my iPhone. The same thing happens if I delete an app on either device. I also have an old iPhone that I use just for listening to music and the same app activity occurs on it. I still want the same Apple ID on all devices for music and books so how can I fix this without having to get separate Apple ID’s? There must be a setting somewhere. Please help! Thank you!

Transferring apps When transferring apps from old 6s to new 7, half of my apps won’t finish downloading because they are somehow attached to my son’s Apple ID, requiring his PW. How do I fix this issue? We do not use family share and none of my apps should be associated with his ID

Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn off automatic downloads.
