Call History showing up on another iPhone

Really?

Then how come Apple advises you to do so?
"Use the same Apple ID for every computer or device on your Home Sharing network."

Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices - Apple Support

If Apple would just allow multiple Apple IDs to sync to the same Photos library and share iTunes Match, our problem would be solved. Family Sharing is a good solution for sharing between parents and kids, but not between spouses.

What Apple should or shouldn't do are not relevant here, nor is discussion of such permitted by the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use.

This is a user to user technical support forum. We can not change the way it works. How it works has already been explained to you. If you don't like it, you can submit feedback to Apple using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

Please stop beating this dead horse.

If you use the same Apple ID for iTunes & App Store you both would be using the same Apple iCloud Music Library, since both devices/computers would be signed into that one ID.

It is the iCloud and other sign ins that should not be the same ID.

Photos is one of the things that does not allow multiple people to use a single iCloud Photos Library. You might want to let Apple Know that you'd like to see that sort of feature added: Apple - Feedback

APPLE WHERE ARE YOU?

If you read carefully, Apple is not here to answer your questions. Never has been. Likely never will be.

Apple does not provide technical support here.

Apple provides other ways for you to receive help with your technical issues. This is not that place.

I definitely became an evangelist.. 😊 What I do not understand is why there so so many people with their thousands of points can not think outside the box. I found the right person to give credit for the solution:

This will solve the problem go to settings--Mail,contacts,calendars-- scroll down to the contacts section and click on the my info tab and change that to the correct iPhone contact number. If your phone is logged into the same iTunes iCloud sign in it defaulted to that main contact. I have a personal phone and business phone and my business phone was listed as my personal contact name under my info that is why all the calls would show in recent calls this will solve the problem.

You don't have to share an Apple ID to share photos. With Family Sharing you get a shared photo album. See the brief description here:Family Sharing - Apple Support about half way down the page. you can have both private and shared albums. Here are more details on sharing with anyone: iCloud Photo Sharing - Apple Support

But for greater flexibility I've found that Google Photos and Upthere.com are much better solutions. You are not restricted to sharing among family members; you can create albums that can be shared with anyone you want to. You can also use dropbox or box.com, although they aren't quite as feature-rich.

OMG yes calls from other devices .....

First of all, it sounds as if you have a different problem than then subject of this thread. So, you should start your own thread. Second, if you want people to read what your post, you will need to use punctuation.

Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question

Best to read this, which should answer most of your questions: Family Sharing - Apple Support

Start there, and come back with anything that isn't clear. To answer your direct question, you can have up to 6 separate Apple IDs in a family share. The idea is to have a separate ID for each user, however, if a user has more than one device they should use the same Apple ID for all of the individual user's devices.

You can still share music and app purchases, photos (you can have both private and shared albums), private and share calendars, etc.

I know this thread is old and long... But what worked for me, was unbinding FaceTime on the secondary phone. I signed out of just FaceTime. (I think someone has posted about this before)

Background:

I ran into this "shared' recent call history after upgrading to iOS9. Let me start by saying, I do not share my Apple ID with anyone but myself. I do, however have 2 phones, 2 Macs, 1 iPad. I didn't want the two phones to share the same recent call history, because that defeats the purpose of having two phones, from a phone perspective, while I do want both to be able to access iCloud services for other functions.

Steps of what I did (this is on iOS9, I don't recall if these are the exact same settings panes on iOS8, but the idea is the same. Also acknowledged that there are probably many steps that are unrelated, but I figured a methodic approach would remedy my issue.):

• On Phone 1, leave iCloud, App & iTunes Store, Message, FaceTime, all logged into iCloud.
• On Phone 2, log everything out of Apple ID:
  • Signed out of Settings->iCloud, which will delete Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, iCloud Drive etc.
  • Signed out of Settings->App and iTunes Stores
  • Signed out of Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
  • Signed out of Settings->FaceTime (I suspect this is the big culprit)
• Restarted both phones just to be thorough (probably unnecessary). Made a call from both phones to different places...the recent history isn't shared. One of the above things is causing the sync.
• On Phone 2:
  • Signed into Settings->iCloud.
  • Signed into Setting->App and iTunes Stores.
• Made calls from both phones, recent history still not crossed polluted! At this point, checked all my iCloud services work (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, iCloud Drive, etc) and I can access iTunes, Apps. iMessage also works, as long as I'm only using the Phone Number.
• Then I tested binding my Settings->Messages and Settings->FaceTime to my Apple ID. Call history started to sync again.
• Signed out of just Settings->FaceTime and recent call history stopped sharing.

FWIW, this will also disable some of the continuity features on the secondary device. I know for a fact, I used to have FaceTime enabled uniquely and the recent call history was not shared. So I'm still playing around to see if there is some sequence that can get this back.

Whether or not something is in writing has nothing to do with whether or not it is a fact.

In this instance, it's a figment of your imagination. Where does that fit in with Merriam Webster?

I chatted with an Apple rep on Monday who declared this should not be happening!!!! So was advised to turn off Facetime on each phone and restart them. Did that and it worked for 3 days. Today my wife's calls just showed up in my call log. What is going on here?????

Well folks, I am mystified as everyone else, as this started happening to me once I arrived today in the US. I have a secondary iPhone 4S that I only use in the States on ATT. My other normal phone I use with multiple SIMs and in the US also use it with an ATT SIM. Both are on the same Apple ID. As Scott has said that Apple said this should not be happening, perhaps there is a bug on iCloud? This is the first time this has happened in over 4 years of using multiple iPhones.

I don't think it's a bug. I only have one phone using my iCloud account, but looking at both my iMac and MBA, I can see all calls made and received by by phone whenever it's in proximity to the Mac in question. I would fully expect the call history on a phone using the same account to reflect the same thing.

Tim:

I thought the same as you, but this does not happen with my Mac, or with the iPad. It only happens with the two phones. This afternoon I was out on the street with the 6 and made two calls and when I got back home I looked at the 4S and found on the phone numbers of the calls I had made on the 6 on the log of the 4S, time stamped and all. The only time that they before today that they would appear on either phone (and on the Mac and iPad) was when a call would come in and all devices would ring because of continuity/handoff.

It really does not bother me to have the "replicated" log on both phones; actually, it is somewhat convenient. I can see why it would bother some people. The only way of avoiding this is, as has been stated, not to share the Apple ID.
