I have 3 apple devices but want to delete contacts from one only

I just got my little brother an iPod. It is set up under my overall Apple ID, the problem is that my contacts come up on it and he is then face timing them. Is there any way to delete my contacts on his iPod but keep them on my remaining devices of my iPhone and iPad

Thanks

    Not without separate Apple ID's I believe.

    You could set him up with his own Apple ID then set up Family Sharing for music, apps etc. and you can control what gets shared.

    As above you could create an individual Apple I.D. and use Family Sharing.

    You can also go into Settings and at the top tap your name (where Apple I.D, iCloud, iTunes & App Store appears), go to iCloud and underneath Apps using iCloud turn 'Contacts' off.

    It'll ask if you want to keep them on the iPod or delete them.
