iPhone call history shared between devices after iOS 17 Update

How can you continue to insist there is nothing to fix when there is literally a series of switches in the settings menu that does exactly that for multiple other items like notes, messages and FaceTime, and one for phone that seems to do nothing (albeit for an hour it does something -only once, then goes back) There’s a switch on the wall that isn’t connected to anything. Either the switch shouldn’t be there, or it’s not doing what it should. It’s a bug one way or another.

I have yet to find in this thread a tech solution to this problem that works. Maybe we’ll get this if we all keep hammering this home with Product Support as IdrisSeabright suggested to me.

iPhone call history shared between device… - Apple Community

You've asserted it before (and the posts have been removed), but to be clear, Apple is NOT storing any of your user data or anyone else's user data on their servers. Perhaps saying something you don't know to have any validity doesn't make sense?

Ok, if thats the case than its not a problem for users to have one ID is there is no data collected or stored.

You are also stating info that is not valid. Show me the proof.

Answer this then, you say Apple is not storing data collected that data has to be store in order for it to be collected and used as a backup. So how is a phone call made from another sim showing up on a different phone, when the link is the ID on Apples servers, sever the link AKA log out of the ID and the call log sharing between devices, stop.

First of all, I’m not sharing an ID. I have the same ID on two phones, a MacBook and an ipad. Second of all, you asked the poster why they would have an issue with a merged call log. Seems like you don’t really want the answer short of telling they are wrong for their reason, whatever it may be.

Do you really not remember that less than 20 mins ago you typed, verbatim "why would you have an issue with merged call logs and voicemail?" I really don't care if you understand my reasons, or the poster that you were responding to, especially when its quite clear that apple could feed puppies through a meat grinder and you'd somehow justify it as saying it should have been born a cat.

You asked a question, and now you're questioning why someone would answer it?

You started off responding in this thread telling people that this is for technical questions, and nobody here knows what apple is thinking, which is more than fair and accurate, yet continually you ignore the technical parts and repeatedly state what apple is thinking.

Just what else could anyone here who didn't change this for users suggest? You seem angry with me? If you call Apple, they'll be happy to tell you this is by design and you can't change it. And whatever your reasons are for using the same Apple ID on two iPhones doesn't actually matter. What else are you expecting from anyone?

How do you figure with No explanation on your part.

It does not matter, Apple will not fix their flawed software. If I wanted call log syncs then I would have a dual sim setup on one phone. Calls made from different phones are being synchronized from apples iCloud servers.

And, by the way, ‘Contacts’ in iCloud also have a slider and when this slider is off on each of the 2 iPhones with the same Apple ID, Contacts do NOT sync between the 2 iPhones. The ‘Phone’ slider should work the same way. That’s the main reason it’s there, in my opinion.

Yes, they do. And if you think that makes your text message unreadable by whoever you share an Apple ID, you'd be wrong. Without your permission, "THEY" can use that very slider on their iPhone to turn on your text messages anytime they want. Actually, all they need to do is check your phone number on their iPhone in messages. I do hope you never text anything you wouldn't want this person to be able to see, because they most assuredly can.

If so, then their intention is incorrect, and it is a bug. It was working correctly from iOS. 1 to 16. The bug was introduced with iOS 17. Companies make design mistakes all the time. This is one of them.

You say their intention is wrong? I don't think you can speak to Apple's intention. You don't work for them. You are correct this was not an issue before iOS 16. Apple clearly made a big change. And you can believe what you want. But after nearly 4 months since Apple introduced this "bug" and countless complaints and multiple updates later, Apple has done nothing to change this. Will it still be a bug in 6 months? A year? How long are you willing to wait for a fix, which is likely never coming? You can wait as long as you want, but you'll likely be waiting a LOOOOOONG time, maybe forever. But wait if you like.

Caper1111 posted a solution multiple times in this thread. It’s a bandaid that result in a frequent reminder that not everything is being sync’s but it works for both those sharing an ID and those not sharing an ID.

Everything is being synced other than the phone calls.

I know you don’t way to admit it, but I’m not sharing an ID. I’m using it on multiple devices, like its intent.

Now, if you’re not going to tell us what the phone toggle switch is for, it’s pretty hard to take any of your ultimate knowledge as anything more than a guess.

have a good day. I’m not interested in getting into any sort of a discussion with you. I’ll only interject when you give false information.

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?
