Call History showing up on another iPhone

RIght KiltedTim?

<Edited By Host>

KIlted Tim what is your problem? Being aggressive and arrogant about something you obviously no nothing about. You are saying that shared calls lists, occurring at random between devices using the same AppleID is not a bug? The pure randomness and chaos about it screams "bug!"

I am the same person on my devices, so it certainly makes sense to keep the same Apple ID. But I can be the same person, and still keep separate call lists. It is not for you to decide that it is ridiculous that I want to keep my business and my personal call lists separate... and it never hurts to remain polite and civil.

Have a nice day.

darenH123, the problem with that "solution" is that it requires turning off Handoff entirely, which I do not want to do as I do use handoff otherwise. The only proper solution, if it must remain, is a clear switch so one can chose to have it work (but then it probably should work both ways reliably which is not the case today) or not (as most of us here would prefer).

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.

Oh yes seriously. Let's see now, did I have this problem on any iOS prior to 8? Answer: NO. Do I have the problem now: YES! Then it's broken. Of course we could create a proverb here that might help the argument:

"One man's feature is another man's problem"

Why in a family would you want to keep accounts separately? Let me guess in your household every family member has their food in separate places, does it's own shopping and pays for all their food separately using their own credit/debit cards? 😉 I can understand the separation for business and keeping it separate from Personal. But not in a family. Since the invention of the iPhone families have been happily sharing their accounts for a multitude of reasons. Apple's Family sharing is way off beam and does not appropriately fill that need. Until now apple have been very happy with people sharing IDs. Only that sharing process that has been working perfectly well for millions of users for 8 years broke with the introduction of iOS 8, hence folks are looking for a fix.

all you guys repeating that same BS answer about using separate IDs should be banned.

This forum's moderation is pure crap. I can see why people have told me for years there is no path to help here.

Do as you wish, your choice is very important. Live with the consequences.

As much as I've been enjoying this thread (popcorn tastes good), I have to jump in and say the solution to the problem has already been provided. One is like darenH123 mentioned, try turning off the Handoff and Continuity feature. The other is to use a separate Apple ID. And as someone who has a wife and three children under the age of 8, who ALL have their own accounts, I'm absolutely baffled by the people who say that it's impractical to have separate Apple accounts for everyone in the family. Those who keep saying that Apple intended or doesn't mind people sharing Apple IDs are ignoring what Apple says clearly in its own support page:

Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?

You shouldn't share your Apple ID with anyone else.

Since this is Apple's official stance, those who expect them to design the system to accommodate multiple users on the same Apple ID are truly banging their head against the wall.

Oh I wasn't saying the issue has been resolved, I was just stating how I got mine to quit having my call logs on my wife's phone. No, the problem is still there as out of the box you shouldn't have to make any changes if you share an account for call logs to be on other devices. I think Apple needs to step up and OWN this problem and fix it. People need to call in as each and everytime I do they say it's the first time they have heard of it.....

Just do it your way, ignore the correct way. Then live with the result.

I agree with this, and appreciate your lack of a nasty tone. I've always said that for me, the headaches (and this is one of them) of sharing an apple id are worth it.

That's because, at least right now, sharing and working on photos with my fiancé is very important to me. The family sharing and various other methods Apple wants us to use just don't work very well. Family sharing and shared albums don't support photo keywords or folders very well at all. Those things are important to me. For that reason we choose to use the same Apple ID. I know that's not what Apple would prefer, but I'd prefer it if they supported a true family photo sharing plan.

Anyway, I know the upside and downside and prefer to do it my way. Now if some of the experts on this forum would mellow out a bit, that would be nice.

CSound1, do you even know what this thread is about? It is about recent calls list being shared amongst devices using the same AppleID. The calls list are shared at random, with no pattern at all, between some, or all of the devices (once again with no rule at all just complete chaos). And you say this is OK and that everyone who experiences this problem is dumb. I think you should look at yourself. I personally have 4 iPhones each of them with SIM cards from different countries. They are each used for completely different purposes and in no way should be shared. People writing about handoff and all this other stuff are talking about a DIFFERENT issue. They're mistakenly talking about calls appearing at the same time on different phones or devices. That is NOT the issue of this thread, this is about recent call lists being mixed at random between devices. It is not fixed. It is clearly a bug. So wake up or get out of this forum please.

You built the boat, now sail in it.

And don't tell me where to post, such arrogance!

You people are simply amazing.

Go ahead. Do what you want. I don't care. You can whine and moan all you like, it's not going to alter reality one little bit.
