iPhone call history shared between devices after iOS 17 Update

This I also agree with, my wife and I have two separate ID’s.

I have submitted my feedback, but no response.

Apple doesn't respond to messages they receive via the feedback link. But they will read it and the more who provide feedback, it will be noticed.

Hello, Caper1111,

Is it a way that I can make the prompt /red dot appear in settings? I have tried 4-5 times, but it just syncs, it never says that something is wrong. It only prompts me to merge Safari and I choose "Don't merge". I have even logged off on both phones, removed one from account manually, hard reset, reset network settings, nothing seems to summon the prompt...

I have also deselected everything and icloud drive is off on both.

Thank you.

I have the same thing and its driving me crazy. I have two phones one for work and one for personal and both are on the same Apple id and both have handoff turn OFF. Apple should not just link the phone when you have the same Apple id when both phone have different numbers. The is a reason for people that have 2 phone. For example I don't want my work to bother the **** out of me when I am off or away on vacation.

Very true. I don't want to see call logs from my work phone on my personal one. It's annoying because it's not showing a name and I would mistaken it from a miss call. I loved Apple and always have been but this issue is just stupid on their part.

Same problem here. I’ve been trying to contact apple since ios 14. They have to listen to apple customers many people having same issue but they dont know how to report.

they must add icloud toggle to stop calls from syncing.

is there any iOS developer on this community??

is there any iOS developer on this community??

No. This is community of users. We are all users.....just like you.

No one from Apple is here. Developers are not here.

If you want to provide feedback to Apple........Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Again, I take issue with this. My photos are not shared between phones, my health data isn’t, my iMessages aren’t, my iCloud isnt, my notes aren’t, my calendar isn’t, my contacts aren’t, my wallet isn’t, etc, etc etc… just my phone calls are.

I don't know why you're telling me you take issue with this. I don't work for Apple. No one here does. No one here had anything to do with this. Tell Apple what you take issue with. I provided a link you can use for just that.

Sorry man you’re stuck in a boot loop contradicting yourself.

we all know that this is how it is, and the other 99% of us want to discuss this. If you don’t have a dog in this fight why are you participating? The majority of us are not sharing IDs, we have more that one phone. Separate IDs mean that we can’t use the same set of AirPods, seemlessly transfer items to the other device or a mutual MacBook or iPad, or a multitude of other things. Having this unable to be toggled seems to not be serving any purpose.

I get what your issue is. My point is no one here can do anything about this. NO ONE. And I'm not contradicting myself in any way. I participate in a lot of threads and have for more than a decade. Unless you now own the forum and can direct who can or can't participate, I'm just as welcome to do so as are you.

My point is and will continue to be that all of you should direct your angst to Apple, not other users, who don't work for Apple and can't change anything at all.

And all of us are, and some have brought solutions forward as a bandaid solution.

I’ve never said you can’t participate, I’ve simply wondered why you chose to. We’ve all sent our comments to Apple and now we choose to discuss/complain amongst ourselves here, and through that some solutions have come up. To continue telling us that Apple chose to do it this way is probably the least helpful part. So now let’s just agree to disagree. Good day.

Unfortunately you're right BlackRoad. I had gotten my hopes up as the longest I'd seen was about 12 hours previously, but I did as you advised and sure enough the call log has synced again. What a shame.

Before iOS 17 my call list was not sharing on over devices, now I have iOS 17 my call list is sharing on my partners phone & vice versa.

we are a Apple house hold that shares a main Apple ID because we always miss place our devices, so find my iPhone is very handy.

this hasn’t happened in years & now it’s happening.

Apple plz resolve

You're welcome. I honestly don't hold a lot of hope for folks in this situation. But one never knows and it enough people provide feedback to Apple, they have been known to reverse something which caused enough to complain.

It seems like something was missed, if someone texts my company phone number its goes to that phone, not both, Yes I can select texts to go to all of my devices if I want, but apple gives that option to select that. Call log sync is something new that I don’t recall having to deal with before, both facetime calls appeared in my facetime call logs on both phones, to be expected of course, but not my actual phone call logs.
