My Google searches on my iPhone are appearing on my wife’s iPad. How can I stop this happening?

Hi LosGig,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We understand that your searches show on your wife's iPad. It sounds like you may have Handoff enabled with the same Apple ID on both devices. If you and your wife share an Apple ID, depending on the features enabled on each device, you could possibly merge information from both devices. It's best to have separate Apple IDs. If you choose not to have separate Apple IDs, you can disable Handoff.


iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff, then turn on Handoff.

Use Handoff to continue tasks on your other devices - Apple Support


Regards.
