iPhone call history shared between devices after iOS 17 Update

As of this morning my call logs have resumed syncing unfortunately. 17.2 doesn’t appear to have been the answer.

Nor did Apple ever say it would be.

Back to waiting for an actual fix.

You will be waiting a very long time as Apple does not appear to consider anything "broken".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m loving all the insight and I’m taking it all and believe me, but even on my phone, I can’t even enable my own iMessages. I’ve never made one I don’t get notifications even in the app I can’t even access my own ID. I can’t tap on my picture and certainly can’t change anything, but Verizon and Apple change my passcode

We're just users like you on this forum. But we've been around for years helping users when we can who awarded us points. We are not experts and we don't work for Apple. If you are waiting for someone to answer your question, you'll be waiting. Or, if you want a definitive answer, ask Apple yourself.

OK I understand all that and I’m taking all that in but in my case I am so owner of the phone. I have the soul owner of a cloud ID which I’ve never used. I’ve never back in anything up to the cloud I’ve got device secured digital call home network and it’s all being remotely controlled and I am the sole owner who never uses a hotspot or tethering all those things are blacked out but they’re showing on my bill.

I'm not sure I follow your point, but while you may be the owner the phone and owner of an iCloud account, your are not the owner of the software on your phone. Apple owns iOS 100% and we as users have a license to use it. Apple has infinite control over that part of our phones.
