I got a new phone and when my stuff was transferred from my old phone, it also brought contacts from both my children’s Apple accounts. We’ve had this problem before and my son tends to get my texts and phone calls. I don’t know how to fix this on a new phone. Please help
iPhone 13, iOS 16
You will share content such as a contacts list, email and texts if you use the same account, either an Apple ID or an email address. Is this how you have set up your devices?
A shared Apple ID will make your devices behave as if they belonged to one person. A shared email will similarly send the same messages to several people.
If this is the case create new accounts for those currently sharing the same account so that the content is no longer shared. There are some good tips on how to achieve this by Eric Root in this conversation.
