Are you sharing the same AppleID?
If all your devices are sharing a common AppleID for iCloud, you’ll encounter all kinds of issues with unintentional and/or unwanted sharing of sensitive/private information.
The Golden Rule: Don’t share an AppleID between users. Each user should have their own AppleID for their own exclusive use with their own devices - linked to their own primary email (and secondary/recovery email addresses and trusted telephone numbers).
If sharing an AppleID, you would be best advised to separate your digital identities and configure a new AppleIDs for other users. If setting-up AppleID for a minor, you should set-up Family Sharing first - and create the AppleID from there.
After separating your identities, you can continue to selectively share purchased Apple Services, Subscriptions, Apps and Media using Apple’s Family Sharing features. Also, for a minor, consider the use of Parental Control features.
