If you have an iPhone and an iPad, you may find that some of your information, such as photos, messages, bookmarks, and other data, is automatically synced between the two devices. While this can be convenient, it may also be undesirable if you want to keep certain information separate. In this article, we’ll show you how to unsync your iPad from your iPhone.
The first step is to disable all syncing on your iPhone so that it doesn’t push any information to your iPad. To do this, go to your iPhone’s settings, tap on “General,” and then disable “AirPlay and Handoff.” Handoff is a feature that allows you to seamlessly switch between your iPhone and iPad, but if you don’t want that, toggling it off will prevent your iPhone from automatically pushing information to your iPad.
Next, tap on your name at the top of the settings screen, and then scroll down to the list of devices associated with your Apple ID. You can remove your iPad from your Apple ID by tapping “Remove Account” at the bottom of the screen. This will unsync your iPad completely from your Apple ID, including photos, messages, bookmarks, apps, and any other shared information.
However, there are some downsides to this method. If you sign out of your Apple ID, you’ll have to sign in with a different Apple ID to download any apps on your iPad. Another option is to go to the iCloud settings and turn off syncing for individual apps. To do this, tap on “iCloud,” and then select “Apps Using iCloud.” From there, you can toggle off the syncing for photos, messages, contacts, calendars, Safari bookmarks, and other data.
Keep in mind that if you turn off syncing for these apps, they will not be backed up to your iCloud account, so you won’t have a backup if you lose your iPhone. However, this method will allow you to keep your iPhone and iPad separate and unsynced, which may be preferable for some users.
