To unlink your iPhone from your husband's, you need to stop sharing the same Apple ID by signing out of his account on your phone, disabling shared features like iCloud Photos/Messages/Contacts in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, and turning off "Calls on Other Devices" (Phone settings) and iMessage/FaceTime (if using his ID) to regain data privacy and control, creating separate digital spaces.
Remove your associated iPhone or iPad
Your husband's phone appears to be connected to yours because you're likely using the same Apple ID, Google account, or cloud storage at the device level. Features such as shared photos, messages, calendars, or built-in location sharing services can also make it seem like the phones are linked.
How to separate our Apple IDs and share things explicitly?
This is because iMessage is designed to work across all of your Apple devices, like your iPhone, Mac and iPad. Any text message you receive will be received on all devices that are signed in with your same Apple ID.
On your iPhone or iPad, go to the Settings app > Apps > Messages > Shared with You, then turn off Automatic Sharing or turn off Shared with You for a specific app.
Q: Why Are My Two iPhones Linked? A: Your two iPhones may be linked together to synchronise iTunes and iCloud data while allowing all purchased apps to be visible on both devices. This may be essential for someone with two phones for different uses but wants to retain personal information on both.
Three-finger gestures on iPhone primarily activate accessibility features like VoiceOver (for screen reading and navigation) and Zoom (magnification), allowing scrolling, zooming, and text manipulation (copy/paste/undo) with specific taps and drags, though some text actions work without VoiceOver enabled for quick editing. Common gestures include three-finger double-tap to toggle VoiceOver speech, triple-tap for the screen curtain, and pinching/spreading with three fingers for copy/paste actions, notes this YouTube video.
If multiple Google Accounts are signed in to the same device, Google contacts from all accounts will sync to the device.
Ensure "Share Across Devices" setting is "OFF"
Steps
On Android:
This means that only you and the people you chat with can read your messages, hear what you talk about, see your status updates, or see your location. No one else can see any of this, not even WhatsApp. Learn more here.
If someone else has access to your Apple Account, they can view information that is synced across devices, which may include such things as Messages and location. Learn here how to secure your Apple Account on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
