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?

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.

Well, you don't have to reset the phone at all. You just need to sign out the Apple ID from these places:


Settings>iCloud

Settings>iTunes & App Store

Settings>Messages

Settings>FaceTime


Once you have signed out the shared ID, you can then sign in his personal ID instead, and you should be all set. When you sign the old ID out of iCloud, it will ask if you want to keep the Contacts on the device. Say "yes" to this question. Then when you sign on his ID to iCloud, it will ask if you want to Merge the contacts on the phone to his iCloud account. Click on Merge, and any Contacts that would be missing from his iCloud account would then be added to it.


Once you get his ID signed into all of those places, you can then look into setting up Family Sharing as Philly_Phan indicated above:


Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing


You can also set up a Genius Appointment at your local Apple Store and get help with getting this set up and configured so that you can share your purchases.


Best of luck,

As far as the pictures go, it depends on how you have them set up. What iOS are you running on your phones? If you are using Photo Stream, then once the iCloud account is signed out of, the Photo Stream will go away. Anything in the Camera Roll would stay, and anything that was sync'd directly to the phone via iTunes on a computer would stay, but Photo Stream is tied to the iCloud account that is signed into iCloud.


If you wanted those photos on his phone, you can always send them to his phone from your phone using iCloud Photo Sharing:


iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support


You can also have shared albums with the Family Sharing account, so you should be able to get the photos back to his phone fairly easily via either one of those two mechanisms.


And yes, to your first question as well - by signing your ID out, and his ID back in, you are "re-assigning" the phone and all of the places where that phone is connected back to his ID, so the accounts would then be separated again.


Cheers,


GB
