IOS 8 double tap allows other device with same Apple login to see who other is messaging

I have two iPhones with the same AppleID account.  The iMessaging for each device is set to only send or receive message and FaceTime from the phone number for each device to keep them separate.  If device A is in a text message and the home button on device B is double tapped a notification will be visible to show device A is in a text message.  Device B can then tap this notification and the person being text in Device A becomes available and a new message to that person is then opened.  Not acceptable.  I have tried to unlink the two devices in any way I now how.  No luck.  The screenshot below is what Device B sees if Device A is composing a message.

That's just the way it works, since you're using the same Apple ID on both. If you have a problem with that, go to http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Can 2 ios devices with same apple id not share stuff?

    Hi folks,
    A bit of a long story but we've ended up with my wife's iphone and my son's ipad using the same apple id.
    any app i buy for my son pops up on my wife's phone.
    Can I turn off sharing? I'd like the calendar and other stuff to be seperate too.
    Neither of them need any sharing to other devices either.
    Cheers

    Use a different Apple ID for each person.  On each device, under Settings in the following areas, make sure that each device is only using the Apple ID assigned to that person:
    iCloud (If you share an Apple ID here, your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and PhotoStream photos will be shared, as well as using up the same free 5G of backup space.  And it's 5GB per Apple ID, not per device)
    Messages (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others iMessages)
    FaceTime (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others FaceTime calls)
    GameCenter (If you share an Apple ID here, then certain games/apps will share the same progress)
    iTunes & App Store (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll have access to the same iTunes & App store purchases.  This is the one place where it's not really a problem, since many families don't want to have to make multiple purchases of the same iTunes music or paid apps.  And you can prevent the new content from automatically downloading to other devices by disabling that feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.)

  • Trouble using facetime on another device with same apple id

    Hi
    I am having trouble using facetime with my wife.  I have an iPad 2 and she has an IPhone 4S.  When we try to facetime, we are able to connect for a few seconds and then it drops off.  We are then unable to reconnect.  We both have the same apple Id and e-mail address although I am trying to contact her via her mobile number.  Any suggestions would be grateful received.

    Get an email address (free gmail.com) to use on the iPad.

  • Facetime on multiple devices with same Apple ID?

    Hi...we have an iPad 1, iPhone 4S, iPod touch from 2010 and new iPod Touch yesterday.
    I have not set up the new iPod Touch yet...but all the other devices are using the same Apple ID so I can buy apps and allow all my devices to get the apps installed for free.  Great.
    How can I set up my new iPod Touch to use the same Apple ID and also do Facetime?  If I use the same Apple ID I would think that my other devices would start to ring when I try to Facetime.  No?
    If you know how to do this, can you please reply and give exact steps?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    -Eric

    @dutra - Your suggestion worked like a charm. I have two options setup under my daughter's name in Facetime: Touch and iPAd. All I need to do is choose which I want to call. Easy-peasy.
    @jeffreyfromorillia - This advice may be too late... But, register each device using your ID, as you should. Once this is complete do the following:
    1 - Go to SETTINGS on device A
    2 - Choose FACETIME
          - here you'll see your ID in the account field -- ignore it/leave it there.
         - below you'll see the email field, enter your daughter's email addy (you don't have to worry about the "+XXX"      unless she has more than once device because it applies only to the multiple device scenario)
         - IF you have used your email addy in the email field, click on Add Another Email and enter daughter's addy      here, then go back and choose your email addy and click remove
    You are good to go. Repeat same steps for your stepdaughter's device.
    If either girl has multiple devices you want to Facetime, follow steps 1 and 2, and in the email field click on Add Another Email and enter - [email protected] - then go back and delete orignal email entered. Do same for second device - [email protected], remembering to delete orginal email here, too.
    On your device go to Facetime and edit contact - it prolly shows HOME / WORK / OTHER, click on it and choose CUSTOM, name it iPod, then enter the NEW email "[email protected]" and do same for second device, customizing the field to read iPad, or whatever you choose... Now you should have two options to choose from for contacting Girl 1. Repeat for Girl 2.
    Hope this works for you, it worked out splendidly for me.
    Cheers.

  • Can I Facetime between 2 devices with same Apple ID?

    If I get an iPad 2 to take with me on the road, can I Facetime with my family (who will be at home on the iMac), even though both devices will be set up with the same Apple ID?

    Try it and find out.

    I have successfully started Family from my iphone and got my kids and wife connected. But when trying to add my ipad with same id as I use on my iphone I cannot succeed. It states that an account can only be connected to one family at a time. How is the procedure for this?

    I could have solved it by inviting myself.

  • How do I stop my texts and pictures from going to other devices with same Apple ID

    I share my Apple ID with my son on his Ipad and I phone.  how do I stop my photos and messages from automatically going to his devices.

    It should be iMessages which are going from device to device, you can turn this off in recipient device. The same sort of thing for Photos, however on your phone/ipad you can turn off 'Photo Stream" which will stop the sending to other devices.  You can do this under Settings>Photos & Camera.
    Regards,

  • Two devices with same Apple ID

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately we are not a very technical fami;y and by mistake, or lack of knowledge I set up my son's ipnone using my husbands Apple ID. I now realise that I have to create a seperate I.D. for my son but how do I delete or disconnect him from my husbands Apple I.D. account without erasing all of my husbands stored data?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    On your son's iPhone you just need to remove the Apple ID in the places the iPhone is using it.
    Let's start with the iPhone  > Settings > iMessages.
    Start with de-selecting the Apple ID as one of the Send and Receive options
    Then remove the Apple ID itself.
    Place the iPhone in in Airplane Mode for a few Minutes. This breaks contacts with at least the iMessages server in this case.
    Now turn to Settings > iCloud.
    Again turn off all the settings that it may be syncing with.
    then remove the Apple ID here.
    You may have to check Settings Mail separately to make sure the email is not still listed for that app.
    Again check the iTunes app, FaceTime  and the Game Center at least.
    Then you can Add the new Apple ID that you or your son gets.
    You will be extracting one items from the Sync processes fro the most part and the "registrations" for  FaceTime and the iMessages part of the Messages app.
    It will not effect the data on your husband's Mac or any info he has in iCloud On line.

  • How do I associate a device with my Apple ID?

    I have an iPad and an iPhone.  I sync them with my iMac desktop computer, and never with any other.  I always use the same Apple ID.  As far as I know, it's the only one I have.
    Recently, I purchased an app using my iPad.  The next time I synced the iPad with the computer, I got an alert saying "The purchased item 'App' on the iPad
    'Etchemendy's iPad' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for it on this computer."  The alert goes on, in fine print, to say, "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    So I choose Store > Authorize This Computer, and I get a second alert saying, "This computer is already authorized."  A nifty little continuous loop that neatly precludes me from using the app on any device except the one I used to purchase it.
    But it gets better.  In stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on here, I accessed "My Account" using iTunes on my desktop computer (logging in with the same Apple ID I used to purchse the troublesome app).  When I click "Manage Devices," I arrive at a box that says, "These computers and devices are associated with your Apple ID for Automatic Downloads or to download previously purchased music, apps, and books..."  It then gives me a "list" showing just one device -- my iPhone.  The iPad is not shown here.  Neither is the desktop computer iTunes just told me is already authorized.  There's a button that says "Remove" next to the iPhone.  And two bigger buttons.  One says "Cancel" and the other says "Done."  There is no "add a device" option.
    So how to I associate a device with my Apple ID?  And, as a matter of fact, why aren't all the devices I registered using my Apple ID already associated with it?  I never had any of these problems till the big iOS system upgrade a few months ago.  Since which, my interactions with Apple have nearly all been nightmarish.  Apple obviously put the WAY wrong guy in charge of iOS development.
    Oh.  And BTW, when I look at the drop-down menu for choosing the "product" I'm having a problem with, only about half the devices registered with my Apple ID appear there.  And I have no clue what kind of iPad I currently have.  I have the warranty right in front of me, and all it says is "iPad WiFi 64GB Black." No doubt if I try to solve this using Apple phone support, I'll have to pay $20 to straighten out Apple's problem for them.  Which is why I'm here.

    My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
    Anyway, the way to recover is this:
    You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one.  After all, the mistyped one purchased it.  However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password.  Then sync again and you'll be all set.
    When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process.

    I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.
