After me and my husband updated our iPhones 17.0.2. We are now sharing call logs again I don’t know how to make it stop because before I just adjusted the call settings to where it was only coming to my number. Please make it stop.

Hello Kyjrod,
If your call logs are showing up on someone else's device the root cause would be that you and the other person are currently logged into the same Apple ID account on the devices. An Apple ID account should never be shared with someone else. It is highly recommended that whoever the account doesn't belong to signs out of it and into their own account on their device.
Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac
With that being said, to stop the call logs from syncing you'll want to go to Settings > Phone and turn off the Calls on Other Devices option. Then go to Settings > name at the top > iCloud, and turn off the iCloud Drive option.
Cheers!
There seems to be two camps on this issue. Those who have become used to it working as it did for 15+ years where call logs were not shared across the same AppleID and those who say it's changed and get over it.
My two cents is to give users the option to do either one by under settings somewhere (phone?). The role of technology is not to make life more difficult, but rather to make it easier..... Apple are you listening.
Correct. I have one iphone for business purposes and one for personal use. They are both mine so I cant have two ids. I have two to separate business from personal calls. The call history causes me to call wrong people due to this awful problem. Spent hours with apple techs who were convinced they could change settings to fix this… to no avail. If you find the solution, please share it with me!
I own my business. Too many wrong assumptions. In my case, apple does not allow two accounts for one person. I own both phones. It is NOT possible to have separate ids. Apple tech support spent two hours trying to help with settings to overcome this problem. Why would they work so hard if they could just say “get another id”?

Yes, they do. You just need to use a different email address.

Again, it most certainly is possible. Lots of people do it.

As no one here was part of that troubleshooting call, it would be impossible for us to say.
Is there another workaround? This is not working for me. Still happening!
I have my two iPhones and it’s not possible to have 2 ids.
Sure it is. Whether it's convenient for you or not is something else...
Turning off iCloud hasn’t worked for me. Shut it off two iPhones and two iPads all on the same AppleID and still the problem persists.
My wife and I share apple id and we BOTH HAVE ICLOUD TURNED OFF AND CALLS IN OTHER DEVICES OFF and call history still showing on each others phones. It’s annoying!!
Has anyone managed to get a solution to this I’ve got a work and personal phone on same Apple ID - iCloud off and calls on other devices .,, APPLE please fix as this wasn’t an issue on previous IOS
Well this has only been an issue since the last update as I’ve had a shared ID for over 16 years
