User level: Level 1 (4 points)My wife just got an IPhone and her account is setup now my Iphone is flashing up a window on the screen asking to continue the Transfer Phone Number Transfer a phone number from this iPhone to your other iPhone.
Problem is I have no other iPhone and this window comes up often. What can I do to fix it? I am not alone. Other friends say this is happening to them too.

Did she set up her phone next to yours?
That message comes from Quick Start. Her phone will probably look exactly like yours on the home screen?
May even have the same phone name in Settings, General, About.
Just say no otherwise she will get your eSIM.
Maybe erase her phone and start from scratch.
And yes her own account.

Do the two of you share the same Apple Account? If yes, you should NOT share an Apple Account. Phone numbers are accessbile on both phones, as well as text messages and other things, like photos, etc.
