Call History showing up on another iPhone

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support

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.

I just can't believe this total BS.

Just for the record, the following is a C&P from Apple's Apple ID FAQs. Gee, it's exactly what we have been trying to tell this individual.

Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?

You shouldn't share your Apple ID with anyone else. It provides access to personal information including contacts, photos, device backups, and more. Sharing your Apple ID with someone else means you're giving them access to all your personal content, and it may lead to confusion about who actually owns the account.

Use their services. The Apple system WORKS AS INTENDED. This support community is designed to help people that are having trouble with their systems that are not working as intended. We are here to help with that. Right now you're taking up space on the server and distracting people from actually helping with someone that's actually having a problem with their system not working as intended.
Apple ID was never intended as a solution for multiple people. It was possible to use with multiple people, but now it's not without having issues with your data syncing across all of the devices. If you want to argue about whether or not this syncing service is the one you want to use, head to mac rumors or gizmodo or something.

You can send feedback to http://www.apple.com/feedback if you think they should have a different type of cloud service, but it's not likely that it's going to change.

I don't consider these words from Apple to be poorly clarified.

Here's the thing. IOS devices have ALWAYS been designed as single-user devices. On the flip side, one user could always be associated with multiple devices. "Way back when" it was reasonably painless to ignore that design characteristic but, with each major IOS level change, the difficulties increased and, for you, they finally reached the breaking point.

This is not a "newly added bug" but rather the latest evolvement in the single-user & multiple device concept. The system IS functioning as intended and Apple HAS said so.

Use the same Apple ID for both Store purchases and iCloud (recommended)

We recommend that you use the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud. Using multiple Apple IDs might be confusing and might cause issues with accessing purchased content or using some services.

Can I merge multiple Apple IDs into one?

Apple IDs can't be merged. We recommend that you use the same Apple ID in the iTunes Store and iCloud. Using multiple Apple IDs might be confusing and might cause issues with accessing purchased content or using some services.

So, more or less, for me this is a kind of "writing my frustration" to this apple-site and sharing my frustration and opinion to other users, that "they are not alone".

Otherwise know as "ranting".

I am using my own THREE ( 3 ) devices and they are ( iPhone 6 ) and really my recent calls issue is completely making my daily life very difficult and this has to be solved immediately by Apple in the next update .... since the iPhone 4s i am using 3 devices for my own personal and business use with same apple id and never had such problem in my recent calls duplication between the 3 phones .... MY Message to the high level guys to report this serious problem to Apple ios teams instead of fighting us because they have no answer or solution.

😮😮😮

Yes, if you use the same Apple ID on both phones, your recent calls will be synced across devices. This is expected behavior. You are just as capable of reporting your displeasure with this as anyone else. So, do it yourself:

Now I'm curious which syncing item they are sneaking this under or if it's not covered by any of the select-able options.

Because it's an underlying part of how Apple IDs work. It's the way they are supposed to work. Until Apple decides they should work differently, this is the way things are. Not everything in life is user-selectable.

Hello,

Please read this article Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support

Turn off Handoff

On your Mac, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the Allow Handoff setting.

Good luck

Hi, hope this helps.

Before iOS 9

1. tap the Settings icon>FaceTime.

2. turn off iPhone cellular calls

IOS 9 above devices

1. Settings>Phone>Calls on Other Devices>Allow Calls on Other Devices>Off.

2. On iPads >FaceTime>calls from>Off

Reference : https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204681

This is a bug. There is no feature that is documented claiming that call history lists are necessarily to be shared with the same Apple ID. If there was, it would happen all the time, not randomly. Also someone should be able to post a link to that claim and I haven't seen one yet (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659). Yes, if one doesn't share Apple IDs, the problem goes away. But shared Apple ID was designed for a user with multiple devices and they may want the call history lists separate just like fingerprints are stored on separate devices. Splitting Apple IDs is a workaround, not a solution.

No one here works for Apple. This is a user forum. A fact you would be aware of if you read the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, but I see you pay as much attention to those as you do Apple's recommendation that you not share an iCloud account.
