Really dumb Iphone question

[Melena]

My wife and I both now have IPhone 6s Pluses. I also have an IPhone 6 issued by my work. We've had iphones before (3s & 4) at the same time, but now, whenever my wife texts me, it shows up on both my work and personal phone, and I can also see her text message feed, which means I will probably see any text message going to her. They are all tied to the same itunes account, along with our IPad Air 2. Is there a way to fix this while remaining on the same account so I don't see all her texts and vice versa?

Just turn off iMessage in settings.

yeah, i found it like 5 minutes after I posted this. Thank you though.

or better, learn to separate stuff

Ehh, wasn't an issue before because there was no icloud and what not, and if I buy an app, I'd want her to use it as well, etc. etc. Second question though now. Any way to not have her call log show up in my phone and vice versa? I figured out already how to not have my phone and work phone both ring at the same time when I get a call.

Is the handoff feature disabled on both devices?

The other option is to set her up with her own Apple ID, and combine the two Apple ID purchases via iCloud Family Share. With the Family Share, you can have up to 6 Apple IDs tied together to share Apps, Music, Movies, iBooks etc, but you each keep your own Apple ID for iMessage, Facetime, call logs,etc.

Awesome. Now to see if she can go back and make her own id without restoring her phone.

You should be able to. Settings > iCloud > Sign out of what I assume is your ID. Then you should be able to create a new one.

edit: Just checked and yup. Settings > iCloud > Scroll to the bottom to sign out. Then when you go back into the iCloud menu from Settings at the bottom there is an option to create a new ID. .
