Call History showing up on another iPhone

Any chance somebody can compile a checklist of all recommendations?

*I've turned off the Handoff on all 3 IPhones 6+, 6s+, 7+.

*I've turned off using the Apple ID for FaceTime for all 3 phones

*I've made sure all 3 phones are set to their specific phone number for send and receive in Messages

* I've turned off WiFi calling on all 3 phones.

All this and there is still a mismatch on 2 of the phones the continue to provide 'recent calls' from the other phones, making it impossible to know if you missed a call to your phone or if another phone was called. Also, this situation is not good from a privacy standpoint as numbers to/from appear on other phones. There must be a simple answer. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a user-to-user forum. So, something like that would need to be done by users, for example by someone who's interested in such a list. It sounds to me like a lot of work for almost no payoff, but, if you want to, go ahead. You'd probably save a lot of time by just reading garypaul's posts.

Yes, there is. It's been given repeatedly but people don't seem to like it.

Nice. I've read endless strings of responses and recommendations. I've also read Garypauls replies - he isn't condescending nor does he look for the pay-off you suggest. My investment in Apple products is significant and yes - I understand this is a user to user forum; was hoping a user with something to offer would respond.

I don't think you understood what I was saying. When I said there would be little payoff, I meant that, should anyone take it upon themselves to make a list of all of the recommendations in this thread, it would be of little value (i.e. not much payoff) as very few of the recommendations actually work. The only ones that seem to have value are garypaul's.

When I go Settings, Contacts and look at My Info - the space is blank. (Your sample shows something you have blacked out). Mine just has a right direction arrow.

So I'm not sure how I can introduce the silver bullet to stop these devices from recording recent phone activity. Believe me, I want to find the solution.

When I select the arrow, it opens my entire contact listing.

Is there something else I am missing or something else I've screwed up?

Thanks for your help.

😁 I was thinking of doing a User Tip (credited to your research, of course), but haven't gotten to it yet.....I think I have a few Notes that I have been accumulating, so I'll add the one above, and maybe there will be enough to put something together! 😮

Unbelievable! After many months of frustration, this is the answer! Going to Contacts, My Info and selecting the profile containing my name and information is the answer. I repeated these steps on all 3 phones and all are showing ONLY their respective recent calls. Thank you and please put together the User Tip to save others this exercise. Now I wonder what the impact of all the other 'promised' solutions will have on my phones.

Who is the ONLY ONE to find a solution to this problem without having to get a separate iCloud id for

each phone.

PenelopeDolo where ever you are THANK YOU!!!

Success announcement was premature.

After not checking for a week, I looked at my recent phone logs today and found recent calls from all three of my different iPhones logged onto my recent call log.

I double checked all 3 phones and they are corrrctky associated with their (and only their) contact profiles.

If any one has a solution, it would be great.

Not sure why.. I do not have this problem doing what i did. I do know if you turn off wifi calling

I ceased to have this problem before finding the My Info change.. Go back again and make sure

My Info is different for each phone..

I had to delete all email adresses for that contact. Then I added only the email that corresponded to that contact's Apple ID. You may be able to add other email addresses, but I haven't tried. The ability to FaceTime worked instantly after I did this.

My "Calls on other devices" feature has been turned off on all my phones since day one and I still get my wife's, kid's recent calls showing up on my device and vice-versa whether the devices be nearby or on wi-fi. I should not be required to have a separate Apple ID than my wife in order to keep from seeing each other's call history. Call history is a private thing and should be attached to a DEVICE not an Apple ID. There needs to be a better solution from Apple such as just turning off this dumb "feature".

Both my kids have either an iPhone or an iTouch. I don't want them being able to buy things on the AppStore or iTunes that cost money without me approving it first. Because we share the same Apple ID across our devices, they are able to call/text me at work and ask me to buy the item they want. Once I download the item on my phone, it now becomes available for them to download. It also allows one child to download the same game as the other one without having to purchase the item twice because its the same Apple ID.

I realize Apple came out with the Family Sharing thing, but it is such a convoluted process to get it to work across devices, I gave up on it. I'm a tech-savvy guy and Family Sharing has a long way to go.

I hope this explains why we want to continue using one Apple ID among our family.

I'm going to believe what Apple say rather than your opinion.

It's unfortunate that you can't or won't use Apple's provided solution to the problem that you have. However, given that such a solution exists, I don't expect Apple to make the changes you want. Even if they do, it's not going to happen now. So, you can either continue as you are and be annoyed by what happens when you use the Apple IDs in a way Apple didn't intend or, you can try to do something else. I'm not judging your decision, merely observing what the situation seems to be.

There is a workaround that has been posted in this thread several times. I can't speak to how well it works as I've had no occasion (or ability) to test it.

You might also consider having your wife get a different Apple ID but keeping the children on yours. That would allow you to continue to control their purchasing the way you do now but would, at least, separate your call logs from your wife's.
