My husband received a notice on his phone that MY iPad is accessing websites!

[iMore Question]

How is it possible that his phone is getting a notice that I am accessing a website??? I have MY phone (messages) turned to MY phone number only as checked.

I've searched many places, but can find a setting that will allow ALL my information and FUTURE information private. HELP!?

Thank you!

You’re probably both using the same Apple ID.

This.

You should each have your own Apple ID. Apple has made it so there is no reason to share. You can share an App Store ID so you don't need to download any apps, etc.

Either this, or your husband is using some type of MDM (mobile device management) on your device.

The MDM suggestion seems a little more likely. I'm not aware of the ability to get notifications on websites viewed simply based on the Apple ID being shared across device. At most, you can see what websites are on other devices through Safari. But getting a notification seems a little different.

Yep, I don't get notifications, but my recent Safari activities on my 6s Plus show on my old iPhone 5, and vice versa. They show at the bottom in Safari. They stand out like the tabs, and were in white text.

This is what it looks like. Those in white at the bottom are web pages open on another device.

You can either ask your husband if he's set up mobile device management on your phone, or you can factory reset the device and then change your Apple ID password (and not share it with anyone).
