Family Sharing should not give anyone access to this information. It sounds like there is some sort of Spy App installed on your device.

ON A 7 person FAMILY SHARE PLAN?


If you have 7 people on a Family Share plan then likely at least two of those people are using the same Apple ID. Family Sharing is limited to a total of 6 people. If you are using the same Apple ID then as far as the account is concerned all devices signed into that account are owned by the same person and content on all devices signed into that account will for a large part be identical.


If people are seeing content used by a different Apple ID then realize there are many sharing features (plus third party apps) and you may have enabled one of them. We would need many more details to help resolve what exactly is going on. You may in this instance wish to avail yourself of the services offered by Apple where somebody can in real-time assist you:


Contact Apple. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
