Ever since the last IOS update, voicemail messages to my phone also go to my husband’s phone, and vice versa. How do we stop this from happening? I checked our phone settings and calls are only going to the number dialed and cal forwarding is off.
Likely because you share the same Apple ID with your husband, which you shouldn't be doing. Not only can your husband listen to your voicemails, he can see every call you make or receive AND if he wants, he can read your text messages as well.
If you don't want to share such personal details with your husband, you need to unshare your Apple ID and then use Family Sharing to share content such as photos, iCloud Storage, Apple Music, etc. Below are two links to help you with this:

lobsterghost1, I have never seen so many post from people that want to break something that's not broke and totally ignore basic computer security practices. I commend you and Lawrence for trying to give sound advice. As for me I'm unsubscribing from this post.
I have continually used Apple computers since 1989 (IIci) and this issue is more proof that Apple has lost its desire to make their products easy to use. I've been using iPhones since they came out, when there was no such thing as Family Sharing. It was NEVER a problem sharing the Apple ID... until now. Thanks Apple! Thanks for breaking something that worked perfectly fine, and giving me a homework assignment. I miss the days when they really cared about the end user.
I went to my account with Amazon and we do have Kindle books there. There all still in our library. I completely forgot about them. I do a lot on Amazon. I'm a Vine reviewer for Amazon and have a special website where I go and can choose from thousands of items in loads of categories and get items shipped to me for free in return for an unbiased review. I get almost all my Apple Watch bands there as sellers offer some really interesting and nice bands. Free is a great thing!
Really!! That's FANTASTIC!! I get multiple items each week. I'm not looking forward to my tax statement this year! I'm also a TechInsider for BestBuy. They offer much higher priced items and I just can't help myself. I'm sure I've gotten over $5K from BestBuy this year.
Hoping for a current solution to the old phone voicemail issues.
by now, apple should have made line code changes to swift, in order to distinguish number isolation.
please give me the news if the problems of everyone under the same iCloud account gets everyone’s voicemail was corrected.

If my kids and I have shared an Apple ID for years how do we undo that so they don’t lose all their stuff on their phone?
If by “Items” you mean AirTags, yes, they do, actually.

Apple doesn’t allow family sharing for items
What items, specifically, doesn’t it allow sharing of?
Sorry. Just venting. I know all the pros and cons of sharing an Apple ID. I've been doing it for 17 years without any issues. And as I said, for years there was no other option.
Fair enough lobsterghost. As an old IT guy I just get a bit testy sometimes. Thanks!
Welp, I'm an old guy and we all get testy at times. Yes, we do!
We have hundreds of Kindle books. Just downloaded Pepys Diary; it was free.
We probably have Kindle books, but I don't even remember my account info anymore. Most of the books we read, we buy on Apple Books.
I’m a Vine reviewer also.
We being using the same ID since for ever me and my wife and we never had this problems before this last update 17.5.1. So why now?! Everything has a solution, we just need to find who knows how!
My voicemail messages are going to my husband’s phone, too.
