Deleting photos from iCloud or stopping them on another device?

Sorry to sound confusing!

I have an iPad and iPhone and an iCloud account for storage.

I buy things through my App Store for the kids using this account. Download the games, apps and so on, onto the kids iPads. Set up their iPads using my account as they are young kids.

So Apple thinks I am using all these devices.

Problem is my photos appear on all the devices, including kids iPads. I've tried deleting photos on their iPads but it deletes them in the cloud and everywhere, how do I stop my photos appearing on their devices. They're just normal photos but they are family ones and random photos and the kids don't want them in their iPads.

I'm sure it's simple but I can't work it out

If you go to Settings->iCloud you can disable sharing photos. If that doesn't do what you want I'm afraid your only option is to delete your account from their devices and set up Apple IDs for your children.

Thanks @prh47bridge I'll give that a go. I think I need to keep the Apple ID consistent as one app cost over £100 and needs to be on both devices. I won't be able to share that.

It's silly really, but I think the not sharing should work
