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 carry 2 iPhones with the same Apple id since ages, and I don’t want to get confused by which phone initiated personal or business calls.
Its unreasonable to maintain more than one Apple ID after all of this years.
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.
Nope, you don't have to. You just will have your call logs and voicemail messages show on both iPhones. And you can't change it. And it doesn't appear Apple will change it. So that is the worst you're going to experience by having two iPhone's both using the same Apple ID. Presumably, it's you using both phones, right?
My wife and I have separate ids for messaging and face time but share an id for everything else so we have a shared calendar and notes there is currently no way to separate the phone from the calendar and notes like there is with messaging. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.

There is nothing for Apple to fix. You need to stop sharing gan ID.
There are incredibly simple ways to share things like calendars and notes without sharing an Apple ID/iCloud account.

Sounds like its worth logging calls with Apple and complaining to get this resolved
The resolution has been repeatedly posted here. Shared Apple IDs share data. Always have. Always will. Stop sharing.
Further sharing of other data wouldn’t surprise in some future iOS version, as well.
Y’all can either deconflict your data now, or go through more effort to deconflict your data in the future.
And hopefully, y’all never hit a bump in your relationships here too, and get your devices bricked and your data permanently deleted.

How to solve this problem? Please help. I’ve turned off the phone toggle on my both of the devices. BUT STILL FACING THE ISSUE.
There is only ONE way to stop sharing call logs and voicemail. STOP SHARING THE SAME APPLE ID. That's how to solve this.
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.

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.
It's not a good solution nor a good bandaid. And when people lose things because they were no longer syncing anything, they'll be upset. I know you just don't want to admit it, but the ONLY true solution is to STOP sharing an Apple ID. OR......accept merged call logs/voicemail messages.
I have been reading several Community posts about the call history voice mail history issue post upgrade to IOS 17.x. My wife just texted me a confidential work-related voice mail which landed on her iPhone.
The next thing I will try is to remove my wife as an "emergency contact". I will keep everyone posted in case this works. It would be interesting to know if those observing the "bug" have the other iPhone owner set up as an emergency contact. We share an APPLEID and iCloud ID with my son who is not experiencing the call history and voice mail sharing issue. He is NOT set up as an emergency contact. This is worth a try.
There is nothing to 'correct'. It is working as designed.
Use a different ID for you company phone.
The actual solution hasn’t changed. Don’t use the same ID.
Log out of your id on your work phone then log back in but don’t allow it sync when you get warning. Both of my phones have the newest IOS version and I still dont get synced calls etc.
Go to your phone settings. Find reset, once you’re there hit reset network settings. You will have to re-enter your Wi-Fi passcodes once it’s complete if you use Wi-Fi. Thank me later.
Nope tech support said each phone even if same person and one were business and one was for personal use one would still need two different apple ids and can do that through family sharing…
I will use the work around until it’s no longer usable. When that time comes, I will log out of my ID on my work phone. Its simple.

You should do whatever works best for you.
