Q: Phone calls showing up on wife's phone

So when either my wife or I make a phone call, or receive/miss one, it is showing up on each others phones. If I call her iphone 6 and she doesn't answer, after I hang up it comes up as a missed call. Same things happen on her phone as well.

 

How do I stop this? Never had this until the last big update.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2.1

How can they be separate when there is only ONE Apple ID?

One of you needs to create a new Apple ID so that you are not using the same one.

    family sharing means you add her new appleID as a family to your and her old appleID this mean she can use the same apps and media that was bought with the once used by several appleID

     

    what your first post describe is the default behaviour of 2 devices using the same appleID you will also receive the same iMessages and not be able to FaceTime eachtoher in the world of apple you are! the appleID so you and your wife in this case is the same person and as such receive the same call history.

    Stop pretending to be your wife (or the other way around) get your own ID and use it. Let family sharing do it's job instead of doing an online impersonation of your wife (or vise-versa)

    We don't receive each others iMessages and we are able to FaceTime without any problems or issues. Only the phone call log is where the "glitch" is.

     

    As I stated before, we have had the same Apple ID for the past 10 years and only after this last update have we ran into this problem. Even going into the Apple Store to purchase, upgrade etc and we have told them we share the same ID, we were told that this is fine.

    Times change, users in unsupported configurations often get caught out by that.

    You have an easier way to stop that, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices and turn off Allow Calls on Other Devices.

     

    Alternatively, it's better in the long run that both you and your wife have a different Apple ID. You can utilize Family Sharing to share apps that were previously purchased by you.

    That does not resolved the issue. Some people have managed to get by by turning off iCloud Drive.

    My husband and I do not share the same Apple ID and we are not family sharing but for some reason he is getting my text messages and when he texts me, he is getting the messages on his phone. How can I fix this?
