When you want to sell your iPad or sync a family member’s iPad to your iPhone, it can be problematic and destroy your privacy because the iPad will automatically share your data. You should deactivate your Apple ID and unsync the iPad from your iPhone.
But just signing out the Apple ID from the iPad doesn’t completely unsuspend it, so you need to disable some other features, such as the handoff feature, iMessage, automatic updates, Photo Sharing, and Call Services.
This iChumz article covers all the steps to completely unsync your iPad from your iPhone.
