2 devices and don’t want everything from my phone on my child’s ipad

How do I log into my account on my daughters I pad without it transferring everything from my phone? All apps/pics etc copied to her I pad including 4000 photo’s and all her apps etc came on my phone. She is only 8 and I need to update her apps etc.


many thanks

Unless you intend to create issues with unintentional sharing of data, you don’t.


As for your immediate problem, are you sharing an AppleID? If so, this is the root of the problem. The first and golden rule - don’t share an AppleID; both you and your daughter require a separate AppleID to maintain separation and control of data.


You should set-up Family Sharing, creating an AppleID account for you daughter in the process - ensuring that her age is correctly configured during the account setup.
