Family sharing contacts

Hi, is there a way to turn off sharing contacts whilst connected on family sharing? My son (age 10) has his first iPhone, and I have family sharing, screen time limit and other safety bits and bobs set up. The only annoying thing is that I have all of his contacts turning up in my contacts. Also numbers I already had stored, such as ‘Dad’.. it now says ‘Grandad’ in my call history as that is my son’s contact name for him. I have tried turning off contact sharing in iCloud, but it says I can’t turn it off whilst screen time limit is set up, which doesn’t make any sense. I don’t want to have all my sons friends numbers in my phone.

Hi @Lockett28 

Welcome to the community.

Do you both have your own individual Apple ID? Is contact sharing switched off on both devices?
