After iOS 17 update we are receiving each other’s voicemails on our iPhone

Why are my husband and I receiving each other’s voicemails?


After the last update 17 on our iPhone 14 we have been receiving each other’s voicemails. Call forwarding is off and live voicemail is off on both phones.

There's one and only one solution to this. Stop sharing an Apple ID. Apple specifically says two people should have their own unique Apple ID. Then you can use family sharing to share content, such as photos, storage, etc.


If you don't want to separate your Apple ID's, your call logs and messages will be shared between the two of you as Apple sees the two phones as one phone.
