Same Apple ID Shared Text Messages iOS7

My father and I share and have shared the same Apple ID for years with no problems. However, when we updated our phones to the new iOS7 I began to recieve all of his text messages that he sends and all the messages that are sent to him. I'm guessing the problem is with us sharing an Apple ID. How do I solve this problem? Does he need to make and use another Apple ID or is there somewhere under our current Apple ID settings where I can solve this issue?

It is not text message but imessage.
To fix the issue, go to settings - message - Send&receive - uncheck or remove the apple id - on either devices.
Then whomever gets the new id go back to the same setting and input it.

I have a ipod touch, an i pad and a iphone can i use my same apple id without texts and apps showing up on every device

i have an ipod touch, an ipad and an i phone, can i use the same apple id without texts and apps showing up on every device.

Yes. Go to your iCloud settings on each device and configure what you do and do not want showing up on each device.
Go to Settings>iCloud as well as Settings>iTunes & App Stores

Are you both using the same Apple ID?

Shared Apple id, Daughters text messages appear on my phone too.

My Daughter and I share an Apple id and her text messages are appearing on my iPhone. On one hand this is not neccessarliy a bad thing. If I delete these messages on my phone that are actually hers, does that also delete them off of hers, too?

Hello dariusandreou,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re about to purchase an iPhone and are a bit concerned about transferring your data from your old device to to the new device. Take a look at the article linked below, it should address your concerns and walk you through the process of transferring content to your new iPhone.

I have 2 iphones registered under the same appleID. Every text message that is sent to my phone, the other phone receives as well. If I turn "imessage" off on the other phone, will this solve the problem from her receiving text messages meant for me?

I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's. I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me. I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones. On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off. Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?

Why not create a second Apple ID? Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?
Here's a helpful website: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

Sounds like your sharing the same apple id. settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

IOS 7.1.2 and no text messages on honda 2014 accord ex

i spoke with honda's handsfree support. They say apple is blocking text messages on the 2014 accord ex since the release of IOS 7.1.2. I just purchased my car 7/4/2014.
Honda is blaming Apple.
Anyone else have any ideas? I have enabled / paired/ disabled my iPhone 5 numerous times. Their "trump" car was turning on show notifications.
I have my restrictions disabled.
Apple needs to fix this or thousands of new honda customer's are going to be unable to use their phones in their cars to do anything other than make phone calls, and expecting iPhone customer's to buy new cars is unrealistic.

Then why do they bother printing a spec sheet that states that they do not support SMS (this sheet existed before 7.1.2). Could they see the future?
You got quickly shooed away with a story so your dealer didn't have to 'deal' with you.
As for it working before read the post below.
Note that Honda told this poster the exact same thing that they told you, but this was a year ago and with IOS6.1.4
Go tell your dealer that you do not appreciate being treated like a fool.

Not all text messages get sent from Droidx or Droidx2

My family has stock Droid x and Droid x2s. We are using the Text App that comes with the phones. Both phones have this same problem.
Sporadically, text messages do not get sent. They remain hung up, showing the green 'sending' arrow. None of the message goes out.
I have been able to identify the problem, but not reason, in one instance.
This message will not send. (dashes not included)
Page one
Jjhhbhhhvcfxdffggcccffg
gggvccffffffgggffgggggfffff
fggfffffffgggfffffffffffggggt
ggggggggggggttttttgtyyyy
ygyytyyyyyyyyyyttttttttt
tytttyyy
yyyyyyyt
Start page two¿
It appears that text in a message is broken up into 145 character chunks (probably for SMS limits).
Notation on my text app shows pages and characters left.( e.g. 145/1 for 145 characters
left, page 1 or 83/2 for 83 characters left on page 2)
1. I'm not sure that sending text from my phone via email did not add/subtract characters.
2. The 'P" in page one is the first character.
3. The 'S' in Start page two is the beginning of page 2
4. The '¿' (an upside down question mark) at the very end of the text message is the problem.
If I replace it with any standard keyboard characters, the message gets sent.
If this is located anywhere on the second page, the text won't send. Anywhere on the first
page, it sends OK.
The fact that this character (Hex 'bf', for those that care) can be sent on the first page smells
like a bug.
Thanks for listening to a blithering idiot!!

Thanks for your response!
To answer your questions:
No, yes, yes, no . . . Just kidding!
Anyway, I had never used a third party app. I just downloaded Handcent SMS
texting app. It exhibited the same issue that the default app does.
The way the message behaves I'm sure it doesn't even get to the point of
trying to send the message. The sending arrow on the message stays with the
message forever, or till I delete it, and the Handcent app shows its'
"sending" spinning gear on these messages forever. Other successful
messages don't show these icons after the message is sent.
If I send a 'normal' message, the green arrow hangs around for a while and
then disappears once the message is sent.
I have tried to send this message to a friend who has an iphone and is on a
different carrier. It behaves the same, and does not leave my phone.
I have sent this message to myself from my wife's Droid X2 with the same
symptoms.
The failing text I sent you before was what I used to trouble shoot the
problem ( to narrow down the 'offending' character). Below is a copy of the
original message that fails. If you could cut and paste this into phones you
folks have, you could try to send it yourself! Note the "¿" around the OK.

I ordered two tickets for you folks. They are $30 each.Total would be $70,
including handling charge.

Jim
======Message end
I was able to copy the message above, paste it to my desktop as a text file,
open it from my phone and copy the text, then send it in a text message. It
didn't send. when I remove the upsidedown question mark, it sends OK
Thanks for listening.

P.S. My email joat is part of JOAT MON (jack of all trades, master of none)

I am not receiving text messages on my phone

I am not receiving text messages on my phone

I am having same issue. My text messages don't recognize iPhones and are sending as a text message and I cannot get text messagesn return.

My iPhone 4 rings for a text message but theres no message????

just as subject says, ill be watching tv or whatever and my phone goes off with the classic text message tone, i check my phone and theres no message. did this 4 times during the night and just randomly does it, my brother had this problem straight out of the box when he got it, and now since i did the new 4.0.1 update its been doing this. has anyone had this problem?

my messages are fine and have context. these have the same tone as a text message and when they come the phone doesnt even light up, it stays as a black screen. realy weird, and i have unlimited messaging, since the iphone 3g 2 years ago with the same number just a new phone.

Stop sharing an Apple ID. That is the cause.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa.

My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa. I turned off imessage in message settings. Seems to have stopped now? Never did this before IOS7. Will I have more troubble when her phone updates to IOS7? Is icloud going to be forced on me then?

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. To separate your messages, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address, on one of the two phones, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once
