Apple IDs don't merge. Are you sharing the same Apple ID? If so, if you delete anything, it will delete from her device/computer.

Contacts deleted using family Apple id I set my son up a new Apple ID, signed in on my old iPhone 11, his account it sits under my family on settings. When I deleted contacts off my old iPhone 11, it also deleted my contacts off my iPhone 14. can anyone explain to me why this happened and whether I can recover them? I’m so annoyed! That’s hundreds of contacts I know will need to add again. I do not understand when we have two separate Apple ID with different email addresses. The only thing linking us is because he’s under my family so I can set parental controls.
