Call History showing up on another iPhone

I am having the same problem. I just noticed this issue tonight. I am a child in the family and began to get all my mom's missed call feed. I attempted to make my own iTunes account prior to this happening and my mom told me to get back on the family iTunes. I was not experiencing this issue which bothers me quite frankly until tonight. Our ID is off for messages and FaceTime. Therefore, they do not transfer to one another. It is only the missed call feed. The actual calls do not appear on the other phone, just the feed. Our iCloud is set to allow only contacts backed up between devices. (besides apps, music, vids) My handoff is off and I am not quite sure about my mother's handoff. However, my brother is also on the same iTunes account and is not experiencing the issue. If anyone has any true solution besides saying to make my own iTunes account, please inform me.

I had the same issue but found a solution. It happens only when you guys are on the same wifi network. On your phone... Go to Settings => FaceTime => Turn off....iPhone Cellular Calls. You can still use the same id for the phone and issue solved 🙂

IF you read the complete thread you would know that you are wrong. I was at work when it was doing it and am sure my wifi doesn't travel twenty miles away. As for my issue it has been resolved now for a few weeks. look at my previous threads to find out what I ended up doing.

I have had this unfortunate problem since iOS 8.1.

My calls on my iPhone 5S were showing up on my wife's 4S but not vice versa.

Upgraded to iOS 8.4 and still had issue.

Tried each of the suggested solutions and one worked!

Turning off Apple ID for use with FaceTime worked.

Something to be aware of if you are looking at the Family Sharing option. Family sharing does not automatically share all your apps when set up. Developers must agree to the family sharing. If they don't then you need to repurchase the app for that device. Also, in-app purchases also don't seem to transfer and in many cases need re-purchasing. All-in-all, family sharing is not the way to go for a trouble free family sharing environment and it will most certainly require you to shell out more money.

I still see absolutely no point in apple syncing call histories. Unless you are wealthy enough to keep an iPhone in every place you are likely to use it and want to be able to have the same call log on each device, I see no purpose of this function. I know no-one who owns more than one iPhone for personal use.

I use it constantly. I can initiate and answer iPhone calls from my Macbook Air, my Macbook Pro and my iPad. Having the recent list makes it easy to return calls from any device. So I see a definite point in the recent call sync feature.

Can't argue with that! I never make or receive calls from my Mac or iPad. Don't want the intrusions, that's what my iPhone is for.

Perhaps apple can create a way to turn this feature off, especially on other iPhones? Maybe it's less likely that people want to answer and make calls on other iPhone's than their own?

So even with the most recent update to 8.4, it appears the problem still persists. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Stop sharing an Apple ID, and turn off FaceTime cellular calls.

It isn't fixed because it isn't broken. It's a feature and it's designed to work that way among devices sharing an Apple ID. However, a workaround is to turn off iPhone Cellular Calls in Settings/FaceTime and turn off Handoff in Settings/General on ALL devices sharing the Apple ID.

That may be conceived as a feature, but a poorly thought one if it cannot be turned off. Again, it may be useful for some users, but I do not want to mix the call lists of my personal and work phones... There is a reason I keep separate phones.

Actually it is broken for many people who never wanted the feature to be added in iOS 8. It was not there previously, hence the many complaints.

Not allowing users to choose whether or not they want to use this "feature" is appalling, especially as Family Sharing is anything but and requires laborious setups including the adding of credit cards and still won't guarantee that you can actually share your apps as this requires the buy-in of the developers many of whom don't as it will increase their revenue.

All told, it is definitely broke for users who were quite happy before this "feature" was added.

Sadly there is no fix, unless apple puts in a switch to allow us to turn it off and considering the appalling decisions apple has made with it's own Mac apps (as seen by their extremely low users ratings) and the increased bugginess of iOS and OSX in general, I wouldn't put up much hope.

Steve Jobs we miss you!

That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've seen here. There is a reason you keep separate phones, yet you refuse to use separate iCloud IDs. Seriously?

It's not broken. You are. Your opinion of how well or poorly thought out it is is irrelevant.

There is a fix. You've been told what it is multiple times. You choose to ignore it. Go ahead. Beat your head against a wall. We don't care.

Guess after all the past replies we still have the uneducated replies. we have shared our account for over 7 years. If you read my past posts mine has been resolved for over a month now. Just follow my changes i did. So please quit posting nonsense about stop sharing accounts!!
