on my primary device I have iCloud -> contacts turned off, also handoff is turned off on both devices.
Before iOS 17.0, each of my 2 devices has its private call log & contacts.
After iOS 17.0 on both devices, I started to see the call history of both devices on my primary device.

I already reported a bug to Apple. And I came here to see if anyone else noticed/fixed this.
It's not a bug. If you carry two phones – one for work, and one for personal use – for "security" reasons, then it stands to follow that you should "firewall" your accounts and have two Apple ID accounts, as well.
The call history sharing might be new, but there is all sorts of other sharing linked to having the same Apple ID. Sharing that's been around for a long time. E.g., keychain passwords, photos, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, and files on iCloud Drive.
iMessages are also linked to your Apple ID, whether you use "Messages in iCloud" or not.

I wanted to share my case as well.
Facts as of 1/2/2024 11:00 AM:
iOS Verion 17.2.1 on iPhone 14 Pro Me iPhone 15 Pro Wife running iOS 17.1.1
iCloud Drive Off both iPhones
iCloud Phone Off both iPhones
iCloud Contacts Off both iPhones
Live Voice Mail Off both iPhones
As of 11:11 I am receiving my wife's missed calls and voice mails. There is a "clue" when I call my wife's cell number the photo associated with my Apple ID profile is displayed. This suggests the issue may be related to shared Apple IDs vs iCloud accounts.
Not "may." It IS 100% related to shared IDs, period.

Totally agree - this update has caused so many issues. Along with this issue, since the upgrade many of the login info has changed on many of our apps. We have 3 phones on the family plan. For Example, my Southwest and Delta app changed to my son's login info on my phone and another example, my wife's Chix fil a app changed to my user name on her phone. This is just to name a few.
It doesn't seem like anything was kept separate and many were randomly changed. It is a pain to have to go in and change everything. Has this happened to any one else?
Your wife does not have her phone, your wife has your phone.
Your son does not have his phone, your son has your phone.
Your iPhone.
Not theirs.
Yours.
Your list of what gets shared is just a few of the ways that context is shared within an Apple ID.

Can you get rid of the last update until apple figures this problem out ?
Downgrading is not possible and Apple has not even provided any information that it is an issue that they are going to resolve. Their recommendation has been to not share the Apple ID and the link to that has already been provided.

Finally! This fixed the issue for me. I turned off FaceTime and phone on both devices. No more call logs or voicemails on my work phone. They are both independent phone lines.
You're just kicking the can down the road.

I see that no-one can tell why there is Phone option in iCloud if this option when is off is not working... The apple idea is to synch recent calls when Phone option in iCloud is on. But when is off the idea is not to synch. It's BUG!!!!!!!!
Tell Apple:
And before 17, turning off iCloud Drive stopped the sharing of the call history, but now it doesn't, which is the odd part.
You really shouldn’t share an Apple ID with any other person. That’ll cause more nightmares than not. Especially with iMessage and FaceTime. So many reasons why this is a terrible idea.
The “actual fix” is to stop sharing an ID.
Of course it's "not fixed". It's not broken. It is behaving the way it was designed to.
The only way to "fix" it is to stop sharing an ID.
You are talking about personal phones, easy solution to this is make separate ID’s. I would never share my ID with someone else. I am referring to personal and company phones.
There is ONLY one way to fix this.
It is unlikely you will get a reply, but it WILL be read.
It is a bug. Report it to Apple.
The only way we will ever know if it is a bug or not is if the behavior changes in the future.
Of course the way to stop it from occurring immediately is to never share an AppleID.

I already reported a bug to Apple. And I came here to see if anyone else noticed/fixed this.
also, what is the meaning of new “phone” toggle in iCloud, I didn’t find any reference for that new toggle.
I need both devices to hold the same files, passwords, subscriptions, etc (everything created under my Apple ID is available on both devices)
however, things that was made under my cellular number(like outgoing/incoming calls), should not be shared unless I want to… similar to iCloud services…
iPhone call history shared between devices after iOS 17 Update
