Hi there! I'm a tech enthusiast with a particular passion for Apple products. I've been using and troubleshooting iPhones for years, and I'm happy to share my knowledge to help you disconnect your iPhones.
Let's figure out what you mean by "disconnect iPhones from each other." There are a few ways iPhones can be linked, so your question depends on which connection you're trying to sever.
1. Disconnecting from Bluetooth
If one iPhone is connected to another for audio playback, file sharing, or using features like Personal Hotspot, you're dealing with a Bluetooth connection. Here's how to disconnect them:
* On the iPhone you want to disconnect:
* Open the Settings app: Look for the grey icon with the gears.
* Tap on Bluetooth: This is usually near the top of the Settings menu.
* Find the other iPhone's name: You'll see a list of devices your iPhone is connected to or has connected to recently.
* **Tap the "i" icon next to the iPhone's name:**
* Tap "Disconnect": This will sever the Bluetooth connection.
* **Alternatively, you can turn off Bluetooth entirely on one or both iPhones:**
* Open Control Center: Swipe down from the top-right corner on iPhones with Face ID, or swipe up from the bottom of the screen on iPhones with a Home button.
* **Tap the Bluetooth icon (the blue "B"):** Tapping it once will disable Bluetooth temporarily. To turn it off completely, go back into Settings > Bluetooth and toggle it off.
**2. Signing Out of iCloud and Other Shared Services**
iPhones using the same Apple ID are deeply connected. This is great for syncing data but might be what you're trying to undo. Here's how to sign out:
* Open the Settings app:
* Tap on your name at the very top: This takes you to your Apple ID settings.
* **Scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out":**
* **You'll be asked to enter your Apple ID password for security:**
* **Choose what data to keep a copy of on the iPhone:** You can opt to keep data like contacts, calendar events, and Safari data.
* Tap "Sign Out" to confirm: This will sign you out of iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, and other services on that specific iPhone.
3. Disabling Family Sharing
Family Sharing links iPhones to share purchases, subscriptions, storage plans, and location. To disconnect iPhones in a Family Sharing group:
* Open the Settings app:
* Tap on your name at the top:
* Select "Family Sharing":
* Choose the member you want to remove:
* **Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the member:** The process varies depending on whether you want to stop sharing purchases altogether or just remove their access.
4. Unlinking iPhones from Find My
Find My helps locate lost or stolen devices. If you need to unlink iPhones from Find My:
* Open the Find My app:
* Go to the "Devices" tab:
* Select the iPhone you want to remove:
* **Scroll to the bottom and tap "Remove This Device":**
* Confirm you want to remove the device:
5. Contacting Apple Support
If you're unsure about any connections or having trouble disconnecting, Apple Support can provide personalized assistance. You can reach them online or schedule a call.
Remember, disconnecting iPhones can have implications for data syncing, access to services, and more. Always back up your data before making significant changes to your iPhone's settings.

To sort this out, you'll basically need to transfer this information to each of your own separate iCloud accounts, after which you can delete whichever contact entries don't belong to you. To do this, go into Settings, iCloud on your husband's iPhone and scroll down to find the ��Delete Account�� button and tap it.
