Presumably both your iPad and your wife’s iPhone are sharing an AppleID? If so, this is the cause of your issue. If you share an AppleID, you’ll encounter all kinds of issues, including unintended sharing, addition and deletion of data.


Each user should have their own AppleID account - this being used with their own devices.
