We have two iPhones; both are SE 2020s.
My partner's iPhone shows all the calls made from, or received on, my iPhone as well as her own; but my iPhone only shows my own calls. How can we stop my partner's iPhone showing calls made to or from my one?
We share the same AppleID as we both need access to the same Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Safari Bookmarks etc.
The_Knowledge_Seeker,
Thank you for that information. The calls appearing on both devices is the expected behavior when using the same Apple ID. This is not something that can be changed in iOS. Her calls not appearing on your devices is not expected behavior. You'll want to make sure both devices are up to date so they function as they should. The best way to avoid this is to have separate Apple IDs and created shared calendars, notes, reminders, photos albums, etc.

Hi The_Knowledge_Seeker,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We can definitely understand needing to share data while still needing to keep some separate. When sharing an Apple ID, this would be expected behavior. You can see if the option for "Calls on other devices" is enabled when you go to Settings > Phone, on your iPhone. That may help resolve this.
Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch
Have you and your partner considered setting up Family Sharing instead? This will allow you to have a shared calendar, purchases, and so one while each having your individual Apple IDs.

Hope that helps!
The Settings > Phone > Calls on other devices (which only offers the option of "accept calls on other devices") is switched off on both phones. Both phones have the same phone settings. We can't understand why my partner's recent calls don't show on my phone (which is perfect), but my recent calls show on hers as well as her own calls. Surely if both phones are set the same, they should act the same?
All we want is for both our phones to act independently of each other with regard to showing recent phone calls. When my partner makes, receives or misses phone calls, those calls appear on her iPhone but not on mine.
Equally, if I make, receive or miss phone calls, those calls should appear only on my iPhone, and not on hers.
Family sharing isn't really for us, as we don't use Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, iTunes, Apple Books; and all the App Store purchases are on one ID anyway. We don't have a whole family, just the two of us, and we DO both need access to the entire calendar (which has business and personal appointments for both of us), reminders, notes, emails, photos, documents, etc.
