I have an iPad to my daughter and it is paired to my phone. I no longer want her to be able to delete my photos and read my texts. How do I unpair? Thanks!

I gave my daughter my iPad and I don’t want it paired to my phone anymore. How do I unpair so she can’t delete my photos and read my texts?

Your daughter needs to have her own Apple ID. You should not share one.


Before you gave the iPad to your daughter, this is what should have been done --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Then set up the iPad as a new device and set your daughter up with her own Apple ID. You can use Family Sharing to share content with her --> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


And if she is a minor, you can use Parental Controls to control the content she can see or use --> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
