FaceTime call history on iPad shows calls to and from my iPhone

My recent calls in FaceTime on my iPad shows all the audio calls I have made and received on my iPhone. How do I stop it doing this? FaceTime on my iPhone doesn’t do this but my iPad does!

I have “Calls on other devices” turned off on my iPhone and “Calls from iPhone” turned off on my iPad, but they still show up on my iPad as recent calls. I just want to see recent FaceTime calls in my iPad FaceTime history as it is on my iPhone.

Thanks

Mandy

Mandy T,

Got it. This is expected behavior when you turn on iCloud Drive and you're using the same Apple ID with your devices. You will need to go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud >iCloud Drive to turn off this feature. Click here for more details: Set up iCloud Drive

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Mandy,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you'd rather not see your call history on both your iPad and iPhone.

If you are signed in with the same Apple ID and have iCloud Drive enabled in iCloud, your call history will be updated across all devices signed in with your Apple ID. You can learn more here: View and delete the call history on your iPhone - Apple Support

To keep call history up to date across all devices, turn on iCloud Drive.

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thank you. I’m happy to have my recent phone calls in the phone app on my iPhone, but they show up in FaceTime on my iPad even though they don’t in FaceTime on my iPhone. I don’t understand why they are different between the iPad and iPhone.

But I use iCloud Drive! I don’t want to turn it off. I just think it’s crazy that only FaceTime recent calls show up on the iPhone in the FaceTime app but both phone calls and FaceTime calls show up on the iPad. This should not happen if you have the “Calls on other devices” feature switched off.
