iPhone call history shared between devices after iOS 17 Update

Total BS, Apple I DON'T want two brands of phone to separate work and home, my life is complicated enough and I don't want weekend and vacation calls on my personal cell line.Apple diehard for decades but not anymore!

Stop this madness, I'm self employed, want to share photos between phones and a few apps but want totally defined differences on my work vs home cell phones, now I don't know what voicemails are for work, and what voicemails are for home and I get tons of calls every day that need to stay separate. I do not want to buy another phone from another manufacturer, I need two phones but you're pushing me to do that. Turn this **** back off.

One Apple ID is one person. It means sharing passwords, sharing two-factor notifications, shared everything.

Want separation? Use two Apple IDs, and set up Family Sharing and shared albums, or use two Apple IDs and use AirDrop to transfer the files.

I believe since to many lawyers here saying stop sharing same ID

i have questions

i have to phones

one for friends and family, one for customers in work

so when i go home, i silent my work phone,

so u guys blaming us for using the same id

i have questions. Then i will give the solution

1- do i have to buy each application 2 times. ?

2- why did this sh… happened only in ios 17

3- since u are saying use 2 ids mr lawyers, why i have option to turn everything else. Only phone calls cannot change.

gentelmen

my solution. I beleive. That since we have 2 iphones, Its better to switch to android. At least, only 1 android

i beleive. That will make life easier, Im already ****** off. Cuz when i backup my phone on laptop, Cuz why waste money on iCloud monthly payment for 512gb phone

i think. Its time to change. Since Ios 17.2 didnt solve the problem

and we have some apple lawyers here. Saying. Stop sharing 1 id for ur own 2 phones

i guess we should stop ising 2 iphone

cuz i wont pay for each app 2 times

if someone thinks im wrong

please. Tell me

That’s not true at all. It doesn’t mean sharing emails, notes, photos, passwords, iMessage….they all have a switch to turn them off. Actually so does the phone but oddly enough all these experts that seem to know exactly what Apple is thinking, still can’t even answer the simple technical question of what that switch is for.

I found a solution that in my case works.

I have the same problem and after Call the support center they can’t give a reasonable solution, I had disable in iCloud in both devices with the same ID: iMessage, FaceTime, calls, etc and still appearing the calls registered in the two iPhone, the only option that I didn’t have disable in iCloud was contacts,I disabled it in the two devices and the registered call , missed or responded doesn’t appear in both phones, now only appear in the right phone that receive the call.

Thank you for the link. Regardless of “proper operation,” this sharing has not been the case in the past and so should not be happening suddenly without authorization.

Undocumented "features" often go away without notice. No "authorization" is required for Apple to change how their software works. All you can do is provide feedback and hope others do the same.

Point well taken. Why didn’t they do this from day one then?

Apple needed to get other part of the shared environment working first before voicemail could be properly shared, presumably.

I have updated my iOS to 17.2 just now and it seems that this has not been fixed. All our devices which is in the same apple id are all syncing the same call log. I have called the apple support and they said this issue has not been fixed yet. Apple Engineers when will you fix this annoying call history being shared with all the devices??? This has not a helpful features of iphone.. this is so annoying!!!!

You are not speaking with anyone from Apple, on this user to user only forum. You will likely be waiting forever for Apple to change this. They do NOT believe this is an issue and as long as you insist on sharing an Apple ID with multiple people, your call logs and voicemail messages will be merged.

Either live the merged logs or do what Apple has suggested for years and STOP sharing an Apple ID.

Why didn’t they do this from day one then?

Maybe because extensive options for Sharing were not present at the time, and for some time afterward.

That's a guess. We never know why Apple does some of the things that they do. We are just expected to nod our heads in agreement and say that we understand.

And if you look up a few posts, you'll see where someone else spoke with Apple Support, who told them this is exactly how its supposed to work and the ONLY way to separate the call logs is to stop sharing an Apple ID.

Do as you wish, but you'll likely be waiting forever for Apple to do anything about this as it's clear this is by design from Apple.

Your choice.

Sounds like Apple is lying to someone because they are also telling number of people it’s not supposed to work like that.

still waiting for one of the technical experts here with thousands of posts to explain what that phone toggle is for if it’s working as designed.

Well, in my case, brand new Apple 14 just got it trying to learn how to use it. My prior android was I’ve been controlled remotely by someone who knew all my personal information and had vendetta and they chose to remotely control my iPhone so with that being said, everything that I do is singing everything that I say, is being recorded and shared. oh, the most important part is they’re doing this acting like that they’re me.

I love it because I don’t have anyone to share with. I don’t have any children and I have parental controls and then all my settings even my profile is grayed out and then I have 27 emails all with the different email address and they tell me please change my passcode, even though it’s being changed remotely.
