My family of 4 iPhone users has been using one single AppleID for years. I basically had no clue that each person was meant to have a separate AppleID account. I just figured that my kids were too young to need their own accounts and I'm the one with the credit card. But my daughter just got a new iPhone, and suddenly texts to my daughter's AT&T number are going to my wife's phone instead. Voice calls still go through correctly.

I guess I just need to set each member of my family up with their own AppleID accounts, correct? If so, my question is this: How do I do that with everyone retaining all of their apps and photos and whatever it is that iCloud does, etc... What is the procedure? I literally have zero inkling of where to start this process. And, what are the potential pitfalls? Has anyone else dealt with this situation?
