Hi Stephen, I can recall I had this problem many many years ago. I was thinking the quick solution is the one Daniel indicated would be a quick one for you. But there is another way and this has been 100% the best way forward for my family of 5 people. We all shared the one Apple ID at one point in time and it sort of worked ok and using the solution Daniel indicated we kept our texts to ourselves across our own devices. When Apple introduced the Family Sharing functionality, that revolutionized this issue of overlapping texts between users to disappear but many other things became very easily managed.
The link below is worth a read and it may seem daunting but is actually very easy to set up. For my family - I am the Organiser, my wife (is created as a Parent/Guardian) and three kids are all Family members in the Family I created. My wife and I both have ability to Approve or Decline our kids purchase of apps (underwritten by my credit card). Apps bought by any family member automatically gives all family members the ability to download that same app for no more payment as well. In app purchases are Apple ID specific - one to be aware of but still needs specific approval for each in app purchase. In setting up the family, each family member will need to create their own Apple ID (email and password) to set up their future in the Apple ecosystem. This may be challenging for your wife if you're to be the Organiser and she is a 'subordinate' Family Member (But still with Organiser authority to purchase etc) as she will become distanced from the things she has at her fingertips that are associated with your Apple ID now but making the break is something worth considering. The link should explain the process of migrating things across (Contacts, Mail etc) https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201088 Kind Regards Peter Crisp ----- Original Message ----- From: "WAMUG" <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> To: "WAMUG" <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> Cc: "Stephen Chape" <chap...@bigpond.com> Sent: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 09:23:17 +0800 Subject: Re: [WAMUG] Two iPhones receiving my SMS replies ? Thanks Daniel. I went looking for that but her iPad has no phone number. So her only option is the Apple ID … that is my issue. > On 7 Sep 2022, at 11:11 pm, Daniel Kerr via WAMUG <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> wrote: > > Hi Stephen > > Yes, if you’re using the same AppleID that would be why, > > You can disable it by the following… > On your wife’s iPad go to Settings - Messages. > Tap on “Send & Receive”. You’ll see a list od AppleID’s and phone numbers. Untick the phone number you don’t want her to receive them on.
