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.
See the following articles:
Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support
I have same problem. Tried changing apple id on second phone and had trouble with phone not accepting it or switching it back. Ugh.
My son is on my plan. we have different Apple IDs, different phone numbers and somehow voicemails that are meant for me, go to his voicemail box. 🙁🤦♂️🫣🤷♂️
We are experiencing this too. My wife is only on the shared family plan. She has my voice mails from my dad from 2013!!! Not all of my voicemails are syncing over to her phone, but many are.
Good luck with that.
That doesn’t sound good.
I would check the following
> Settings
> Accessibility
> Control Nearby Devices
* see if that offers a possible reason*
If not I would double check ‘AirPlay & Handoff’
> Settings
> General
> AirPlay & Handoff
* see if that offers a possible reason*
I would start with checking those 2 settings
Maybe check ‘Personal Voice’
> Settings
> Accessibility
> Speech
> Personal Voice
I am not sure if that would be a possible reason, but double checking the setting is probably a good idea anyway
If none of the above, maybe double check if your carrier has ‘number share’
Maybe double check your iPhone ‘phone’ settings? Create a VM PW?
