Why does my wife's iPhone ring when I get a call on my iPhone? The same for her. Just updated both to ios8.

Maybe with the new Sync update from ios8 , if the two iphones are linked in some way, calls and messages may appear on both devices.

Are you sharing the same iCloud account? If so, try turning off "iPhone Cellular Calls" in FaceTime settings, or use separate iCloud accounts.

I had this problem and turned both phones off and back on again and this solved the problem!

I just solved this same problem; my iPhone incoming calls were ringing on both my and my wife's iPhones. We were both sharing my Apple ID. Instead now with the new iOS8 you need to have separate Apple ID's.

-Need to create a separate Apple ID.

-Under Settings/iTunes & App Store, click on the Apple ID at the top, then sign out.

-Sign in using the new Apple ID

-Under Settings/General, go to bottom and click on Reset, then click on Reset Network Settings

-The phone will go through a reboot, but everything else on the phone will remain intact.

You can test by calling the number and see that it only rings on the appropriate phone.

If you're still having problems, try calling technical support from your cellular provider.

Thank you . The FaceTime setting was my problem.

The FT setting solved this for me as well. What are the implications of turning this setting off? I assume it's related to the new feature of taking calls on iPads, but was not sure. Any ideas? Thanks.

Turning it off means only your iPhone will ring when you get a call, so if you have an iPad or Mac that you want to use this feature with, you'd be disabling it. So if you want to use this new feature, using separate iCloud IDs is how you separate two or more iPhones from one incoming call.

Thanks so much for helping with this issue!

This solution was the answer. Problem solved. Thank You.
