[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1928859, member: 83420"] I would suggest that therein lies the main problem -"all sharing the same Apple ID"; that's husband & wife. For example, many husbands & wives share an Apple ID. My wife and I shared my Apple ID for several years; but about 2-3 years ago, she got her own Apple ID. Since then, I share my Calendar with her. So, firstly, we need absolute confirmation than husband & wife do have the same Apple ID as suggested in the post. There are ways of determining that each person gets only their own Messages. Solution 1. In Settings > Messages > iMessage > Send & Receive > "You can receive iMessages to and reply from" > Each person lists only [B]their own[/B] mobile number along with the Apple ID. Below this "Start New Conversations From" - again lists only their own number and same ID. In effect this means changing the ownership of the iPhones & iPads such that one of the two of them is technically the owner of all devices. Person A has "Me" as the owner on all the iDevices. This works, but a possibly easier option: Option 2. Whichever partner has NOT got a personal Apple ID, gets one and each partner "Shares" such data as Calendar, contacts whatever. There's more to this, but that's a start :) :) Ian [/QUOTE]
