Call History showing up on another iPhone

Hi,


Hopefully you can help.


I use my phone for business and we have noticed in the last few days that all of the calls I make and receive are appearing in my wife's iPhone recent call history?


I have hunted high and low in settings on both phones but with no joy.


It is only affecting calls i make, not the other way round? so i am not seeing calls my wife makes on her phone in my recent call history?


[Re-Titled by Moderator]


It is also not affecting text messages...

We are both using the same iCloud account but the inconsistencies above suggest its something more involved (or very simple!)


The slightly odd thing is that it only seems to do it when my phone is at home, i went out this afternoon and the calls made/received have not appeared on her history. so maybe its a wifi thing?...but...


I also phoned vodafone when i got home to see if they could help (they couldn't!) and that short dial number is also not appearing on her history?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Yes me is two separate people with different names, numbers and emails. Why would I create a separate accounts when we have had iPhones for 5 years with no problems before? This thread is on page 126 on my phone, that has been mentioned ad nauseum. I want the phones to work like they have the last 5 years.

>> So what I think works well is less important than the way you think things should work?


There are objectively better use cases than others


>> And, apparently, Apple agrees with me. Speculating on why Apple made a particular choice is a violation of the Terms of Use to which we all agreed when we signed up. So, you're one your own there.


How do you jump to the conclusion that Apple agrees with you when it is most likely a bug! Features that work differently for different people with the same settings are bugs!!! And absent any proof that this is a design feature, your statement on violating the TOS is extremely bogus and unhelpful.

I dont know you guys are confusing.... To me the call logs should not be merged. A marry couple should be allowed to have 2 numbers on one id. Even if my sons number should be allowed on my id. And this should not happen. Why should a family have multiple ids???? Pay for apps 2 - 3 -4 times. I am going to go to Verizon this weekend... and put my husbands new phone back on his own id. I wanted them merged for many reason (the apple tv as well) But that obvious cant be .... Causes too much of a headache! I managed to shut of each other phone calls an texts threw the settings. But I do not like having my call log merged with his. To me that is a bug. But maybe it is Apple feature. who knows. But in order to fix it bottom line I am going to have to reset my husbands phone. which upset me.


By the way when I set it up... it added all his contacts to mine as well.... annoying.

Because a family consists of multiple persons. Kinda like a Social Security number in the U.S.

First, you identified only two persons, "a marry couple" is how you described your situation. Second, Family Sharing solves your concern - the two of you (and any future additions to your family) will pay only once AND you can have both shared and private calendars and both shared and private reminders AND, if the future additions consist of children, you can control what apps they obtain. Texts and contacts are NOT shared. I suggest that you investigate.

See above.

I guess I will look into family sharing after I fix his phone. Sort of upsetting we even did this. Because now I have to copy all his data to make sure it is not lost in the reset. Although his contacts are now on both my id and his id I don't see how we could loose that info. But just incase I will print it out. Plus all the photos. I guess I learned my lesson. I thought it be easier..... esp for playing his videos on our apple tv.

Family Sharing is how to pay once for apps, Contacts problems too. in fact everything that went wrong for you was because it was done wrong, Ypur choices

It appears that the Apple TV solution is that you would need to download the desired movie from iTunes (for free) and then you can play it on Apple TV. See below. Of course, it's not unreasonable that you may well find another solution.


All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.

Everything’s better when shared, and sharing has never been easier. After you set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases. The content appears automatically in the Purchased tab in iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store for each family member. Just select the family member whose collection you’d like to browse, then download and play the content you choose. Other family members can access your collection in the same way. If you want to keep some purchases private, you can choose to hide individual items.

yeah I mean we have ipads he can use for the Apple TV at this point I will just have to fix the way I set up his phone. -


As for wrong choices - I thought it help our family.... So I mean at the time I thought it was the right choice. I guess now I have to fix it. I was thinking about going to Apple to see if they can help with the situation... without resetting the phone.
