If he’s using your AppleID then he has the same access to all your data as you have. The AppleID defines the account for each Apple service (iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc). Apple’s online system have no clue who is using the AppleID. The systems just know the AppleID. There is no privacy nor separation of data when people use the same AppleID.


An AppleID is a unique personal login ID. Everyone should have their own AppleID.
