Re: [apple-iphone] Can we share apps but not messages with family members living in the same house +

 

Actually, family sharing does allow apps, as well as many other things, to be shared: <http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/>. This eliminates getting each other's iMessages, emails, etc. My husband and I have separate AppleIDs and family sharing, and it works great. :)

You can turn this "off" on your phone in the settings area (see <http://www.ianswerguy.com/imessages-to-sent-multiple-devices/> ) . To resolve the matter fully, the Verizon rep told me that this happens when you all share one apple ID. They suggest getting your own Apple ID.

And if you do NOT share an AppleID, I'm pretty sure you cannot share apps…

I share my AppleID with my wife, so calendar and reminders and apps, etc., are available on her iPhone as well as mine.

But we have different phone numbers, which is what we designate for text messages, so hers stay on her phone, and mine on mine.

I specifically set it up so that my text messages appear on my iPad and my Mac as well as my iPhone, but not on hers.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
