Unlinking

I have 2 iPads and one can see what the other is doing. How do I unlink these so they are separate?

This sounds like a situation of multiple individuals sharing the same AppleID ???


If so, the best, most secure, and BY FAR cleanest way-ahead for the long term is to have separate AppleIDs for each individual.


Create a new AppleID for the “other” iPad’s “primary user.”

If the new AppleID is for a child, there is a slightly “different” method involved.

If desired, you can then “selectively” share services using Family Sharing.
