Call History showing up on another iPhone

I don't believe that is the problem for me. I had Verizon when I saw the problem with iOS 9 update. Now I switched to T-mobile and with iOS 9 and have the same problem. I did check the profile settings on my new account with T-mobile and every phone has different name assigned to it. According to Apple rep this problem is a result of iOS 9. I see many people posting well don't use the same Apple ID then or use the family sharing option. We use the same Apple ID for the sole purpose of tracking all four iPhones using the find my iPhone app. Family sharing will allow all family members to see each others location which we don't want out kids t see. Me and wife just want to see our kids location. If there is away to do this like we have for years previously until this new iOS update please let me know. Thanks for the help.

BTW i can actually answer calls meant for my phone on my iPad if this is enabled and im on the same wifi network!

Its quite irritating actually, I read somewhere that the problem remediates if you switch off iCloud Drive on both phones. Anyone try it ?

Thanks,

OK this is what I did and it fixed the issue for me. Got to settings, phone, calls on other devices. "allow calls on other devices" was turned off already on mine. So I turnd it on and it will bring up all the devices below that are signed into your icloud account. When i did this for some reaeon all my device were enabled (green button highlighted). So I turned all those devices off each. Then go to the top and turn off the main one "allow calls on other devices". When I did that it fixed this issue for me no more mixed call logs on all my devices signed into same iCloud account.

Brauniii, thanks a lot man!! It worked! I was gonna create a separate account, phew

You should have, you will have future problems this way.

Ok the only solution for me (I tried iMessage, respond to other devices etc - no success) - I switch off the iCloud drive on my wife phone - I called Apple already.

We choose to have one ID. I am aware of fammylly otions etc. But having one ID is more connient for us and it is good to have this option. This recent bug appered in the last 2 months.

True, havin one ID can lead to some complications, but the iOS allows us to assign each devices with different ID - I use my phone number for my phone, My wifes for my wife iphone, my mail for the iPad etc. Thus I can reroute and organize all my devices under same Apple ID - it doesn't work for iMessage tough - I have to switch it off and use simple messaging.

i swear i did it at my both Iphone and at general-phone-calls on other devices switched off too and not working still have the same problems

it's more efficiently in outcalling and in calling and missed call

It is not a bug. It is a direct result of your choosing to use them in a manner other than that which is recommended.

One iCloud ID per user. It's not just Apple's 'opinion' of how it's supposed to work...

Hi

This is because you are sharing your apple ID they are only for one person

Your wife needs her own apple ID .

All apple devices with same ID get the same infomation .

Cheers

Thank you so much GovtLawyer. This has finally solved the UNBELIEVABLY IRRITATING problem of recent call sharing between my business and my personal iPhones. I tried every solution on this tread, and then some others from elsewhere to no avail. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Also, to all the "High Level" posters who mindlessly chant "Stop sharing an ID", and worse, put people down: Thanks for wasting space on this forum. You were WRONG. And you caused harm by: a) Stating a FALSE policy. b) Confusing and dissuading customers from finding a solution. You were WRONG. And you know who you are. Please consider the harm you do when you mindlessly repeat non-help in the face of something that clearly was and is a problem (but finally there's acknowledgment that said problem exists and will be addressed.)

Sharing ID's is perfectly acceptable and in some cases required. Why in the world would I use different Apple IDs on phones and devices THAT I OWN? I wonder how extensive a use of media sharing and Apple TVs scenarios have you "Don't share an ID" bots even bothered with. I guess you folk got all your points answering stuff like "Hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time to take a screenshot! Have a nice day". Obviously the 'Level" system on these forums has lost most if not all of it's credibility, which is a shame for those people with high level scores who actually earned it by earnestly helping people.

People can only get points if the original poster in a thread awards them because they believe that the post has helped them.

Like you, we are also entitled to have our own opinions about what is the correct way to proceed on a particular issue. You are free to ignore or disagree with it. However, the histrionics about causing "harm" are just a tad over the top. Take a deep breath and calm down.

The bottom line is that no one here can change what Apple has done. We can (and have) provide suggestions that work under certain circumstances (the most successful being to turn off iCloud Drive). We can suggest that Apple appears to have intended an Apple ID to be used by one person and that sharing them can lead to a number of unwanted consequences. And we can suggest that, if you don't like what Apple has done, submit feedback. I don't actually see that any higher level people have suggested that an individual have multiple IDs, unless that is the only way you can find to stop sharing recent calls and that is an issue that is so important to you that nothing else will do.

IM also fed up with moralizing tone of some users Thendil has a point. Its a technical questions not phylosophy

Re-reading my post I realized that while I thanked GovtLawyer for the solution he found I never mentioned the actual solution to end recent call sharing between phones:

Open Settings -> iCloud. Turn iCloud Drive Off.

That's it. And after fiddling with it for an afternoon, I found you only need to turn it off on one phone sharing an ID if you have two. (If you more have more than two, just a guess but you'll probably have to turn off iCloud Drive on all but 1 phone)

Hope this helps some people avoid digging around too much in the thread to find an actual solution.

As has already been pointed out you are free to do as you please.
