To stop receiving your son's texts on your iPhone, check if both of you are using the same Apple ID. To fix this, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and ensure only your phone number or email is checked. If necessary, create a new Apple ID for your son. Additionally, confirm that iCloud Messages is turned off by going to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud and toggling off Messages. This should prevent further text mix-ups while preserving privacy on both devices.
