Why are my imessages showing up on my daughter's iphone?

My daughter and I both have iphones and just updated to ios7. since the update, when either of us get a message from someone we both have on our contact list it will show up on both phones. When she sends me a text I get it and so does she. How do we change this?

The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
You should each have your own.
Check the settings here:
Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > remove the number that doesn't belong
This will fix the message problem but using the same Apple ID will also merge all iCloud items enabled on the device here:
Settings > iCloud
Such as:
Contacts, calendars , reminders, pjjotos, bookmarks, etc...
It can get quit messy. It is always best to use your own Apple iD if for nothing else but iCloud.

  • Why are my iMessages showing on my brothers iPad?

    Why are all my iMessages that I send from my iPhone 4 to my boyfriends iPhone 4s showing on my brothers iPad? We do not share an apple ID! He can send a message from his iPad to my boyfriend and then it shows on both phones that I am the sender when I have not sent anything. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Hi Abbey
    Jon is correct, you have either signed into iCloud with the same ID on both devices or you have associated the same email address as an alias between them.  Sign out of iCloud / iTunes / Appstore on both devices then sign-in seperately and that should resolve it.  In the mean time, keep the messages as clean as possible.

  • Why are my iMessages being sent to my father's iPhone as well as mine?

    I updated my iPhone to the newest software last night, and now all of my iMessages are being sent to my father's phone. My messages are only linked to my number, iCloud account and email. His is nowhere on it. What is going on?

    You visually verified that on both phones?  If so, I'm not sure what the problem is... don't know how that could happen unless your emails matched.
    Try turning iMessage off on one or both and then back on.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off.  If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

  • Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Help!

    Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Is there anyway to remove them or stop
    them from going directly to her phone?  Help!!!!  Thanks guys 

    So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member.  We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
    We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

  • Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

    Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

    When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly.  For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.
