Call History showing up on another iPhone

Do not share iCloud accounts. iCloud accounts are not intended to be shared. That will resolve your issue.

I could have sworn there was a 10 device limit when it came to sharing an iCloud account.

After some searching, I came across this thread, How many devices can use one iCloud account?

http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/08/10/apple-id-limited-10-devices/

Even Apple states you can have up to 10 devices.

Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

"When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

This is the reason why I have always shared my iCloud account with my wife, because I remembered hearing about it and reading about it. We both use an iPhone and use an iPad, 4 devices between the two of us, using the same iCloud account. We share Apps and both of our phone numbers are registered with Apple for iMessage. It has always worked and we have never had this problem until several weeks ago with the phone numbers appearing on each others device.

Nothing seems to fix. It actually occurs only 1 way for my wife and I and it is only doing it while on cellular. Not wifi Turning off handoff did not help. We already use separate ID for messaging and FaceTime. The only thing we share an ID for is apps and music. Mainly because iTunes Match does not work with multiple ID family share EVEN though we paid the $25 for each account in the family share plan.

Skynet posted exactly why we share our main ID (Thank You) but we each use separate ID's for Facetime and messaging.

My wife and I thought about creating separate ID's for iMessage and FaceTime, but since you can associate more than one phone number with an Apple ID, we just use our phone numbers only for iMessages and FaceTime and leave the email address for the iCloud account unchecked, and it works perfect for us.

It just amazes me about all the responses about how your not supposed to share an account and so forth when in fact you can and Apple even states you can.

Hopefully Apple fixes this bug soon.

True, don't know why these people come on here and think they really know what they are talking about. They should be the ones band...

as of today my issue has been resolved since last Sunday. (Read my previous comments).

I just logged into this support forum for the first time to say this is happening to me also, and none of the suggested items works.

To the **** continually saying not to share iCloud across multiple devices. That is not a valid answer and frankly your continual push for that solution makes you look bad.

We need a real solution that restores prior functionality, that Apple allows.

I agree that the calendar portion of that statement is the best way to go. My wife and I have had separate calendar accounts through gcal since they started, and we just "subscribe" to each other's calendars. Has worked that way for iCloud calendars as well.

The reason I share an iCloud account with my wife (even in the face of the newer family features) is due to contacts. Contacts can't be subscribed to, and manually syncing contacts between accounts is a step backwards.

There are workarounds on the phone, and it is more a matter of willpower setting up the requisite family icloud account and the (2) separate but equal icloud accounts for my wife and I. I dabbled before, but in the end found it easier to just carry on as usual.

I do fear that the day is coming somewhat soon when the utility of using one icloud account for (2) people will end.

What a most unhelpful thread!.

Those using the iphone since the launch of the first iphone will all know that sharing your ID was common practice to avoid purchasing duplicate material. How folks can repeat post after post that the IDs are not meant to be shared is beyond me. It's been the common practice of nearly all families since 2007. This includes folks who don't have an iphone, but an itunes account and again don't want to purchase duplicate material. This has worked fine for most until iOS 8.3. Apple changed something. What did they change? Duplicating all info from one iphone to another. What would have been more helpful would have been the following statement:

Although sharing IDs has been a widespread practice, with the changes of iOS 8.3 Apple has decided to place a single ID's content on all devices that are signed into that ID. In an attempt to alleviate the frustration, they have created Family Sharing. This in essence is an attempted replacement for sharing ID's across phones, tablets and computers.

Something you might want to be aware of if you go down the family sharing line. Even though apple say all purchases can be done through a single debit/credit card, in reality every new user who signs up cannot do so without their own payment details. Further, trying to create an account for a child requires adding a credit card to your account as proof that you are the account holder. So all-in-all family sharing is essentiually apple harvesting contact details of all your family members and gaining extra payment methods. nothing to say of the hassle of setting this up.

I think I can live with extra recent calls in my iphone and hope that the jailbreak community will issue a fix for this, as apple certainly won't.

iCloud is a single user system, you can use it incorrectly if you choose, but that is your choice, and a bad one.

Er no.

I use it how I choose to not how you want me to use it. The fact that it has allowed multiple users for the past 8 years is sufficient evidence. It has worked well as a multiple user platform for those 8 years. Thanks.

It's your choice, and you will have to deal with the problems that go with using it that way.

Have a nice day.

I Had the same problem but I believe I found the solution.

Go into Settings/Facetime/You can be reached by Facetime at, and deselect your email, just leave the phone number selected. I've been trying this for a week now and none if my wife's calls show up on my phone or iPad, and vice versa, none of my calls show up on my wife's iPhone or iPad.

That's the reason there is this thread. There was no problem until apple changed something. Now there is a problem.

In all reality you are correct about the single user ID comment as it pertains to icloud (introduced 2011). The difficulty I believe many users are having is that multiple users to one ID worked fine under mobileme (and icloud up until 2015). As for those old enough to have been using apple for the past 8 years, they have established a system for which there was no alternative in the early years. To be honest it's only with Family Sharing that this is being addressed by apple. My only annoyance is that it's a cumbersome fix for those already set up sharing their ID over a number of devices. Plus many (like myself) do not want their children to have an account with apple. Take a normal family of four. Everything working smoothly from one account. Now my wife needs an account with payment details (another account to keep track of), my daughter needs an account (I now need to enter credit card details for a credit card I have no intention of using even thought my debit card doubles as a credit card) and my son needs an account (repeat my daughter's set up steps). I imagine once they turn 14 their account will be blocked until their create their own account with payment details.

All this because my calls log is appearing on my wife's iphone!

My preferred solution would have been for apple to allow me to add up to 6 devices to my account. This would have been simple. I log into itunes add the six devices (in my case 4) and all is working smoothly. Some may argue that this is what apple has done but they haven't . Apple have allowed 6 family account to connect to one account, but the separate accounts are needed. For what purpose I ask myself. None except possibly apple looking to increase their income and harvest more contact details. I see no need of family sharing the way it has been set up. Each iOS device has it's own ID which is sufficient. It would have been far more customer friendly to allow people to add all their devices to one account, but apple have purposely not allowed this. This is a real shame.

Have a nice day!!

..and you also no longer can be reached via factime through your email ID?

TThat's true, but my iPad is normally on the same network as my iphone, so I don't see a reason to be available through my email.
