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

I've had the same problem. Just found a setting under Phone that says Calls On Other Devices. It was on. Turned it off and will see if the problem is resolved.


Very irritating setting. Why would you want to do this?

Don't tell people what to do when you don't know the answer.

The answer is again: use Family Share if the problem really bothers you.If you want more help contact Apple Support directly. Actually Apple (or anyone else on this forum) really doesn't care what you do or if you follow the advice given here. And I really don't care either. Deal with your reality as you wish.


Have a nice day.

You just replied the exact same thing to another guys post about the exact same issue, like 48 hours ago. Can you actually try to help? It seems like you have the knowledge but you also have some weird grudge against people who share an iCloud account. It's going to be shared, stop trying to be the iCloud account sharing police. This same issue is happening to me and obviously, a lot of other people as well. So instead of trying to browbeat people into submitting to separate iCloud accounts (which is not freakin practical for a family, especially one with kids with phones) please try to be helpful. The guy you said this to earlier this week, you basically derailed his entire question and made it about something that he didn't even post about. And for God sakes, TURNING OFF IPHONE CELLULAR CALLS IN FACETIME IS NOT THE ANSWER. IT STILL HAPPENS.....OUT OF THE BLUE.....ALL OF THE SUDDEN.....WITH NO CRAZY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SETTINGS.

Well, I wasn't even talking to you, but I appreciate you jumping to the defense of the guy I was talking to. Also, I did see, after my post, that there is an option to create an apple id for a kid. Great idea! Solves that problem. Some "kids" meaning "too young to need their own apple id" is what I was referring to. All that being said, you are defending the wrong point. Funny how you "Way TOO Serious" high level posters only seem to reiterate "fix the root of the problem by not having an apple id shared between people. I too agree that you should use a product for the reasons it was intended. The funny part is that you are just asking all of us "joint apple id folks" to just ignore the real issue that appeared out of the blue on May 22nd or so and just "divide your apple ids". That'll fix the problem.... or just prevent you from experiencing a problem that still looms in the background. So, I think that I have acknowledged your jab at me about Kids, admitted you were right about a few things and was very logical in my argument.

As strict as Apple is with apps and software why don't they restrict sharing ID's? Simple, it always has and always will be done until they block it. Creating another account is just one more security issue. Why do I want to create another account, remember another password, agree to more stipulations, give my credit card info out and answer and remember another set of security questions when all I want to do is sync. apps on 2 phones. It's a privacy issue and the less info out there the better.

The goal post is changing on this discussion. Why would you be creating a new password and remembering security questions and adding credit card info for someone else? Just tell the other person to make their own Apple ID and have them remember their login information or make your own Apple ID and take all your info off the other one. If all you want to do is sync apps, Family Sharing can do that.

Then let me delete apple apps. Something so simple and harmless, yet practically impossible. Apple needs to be consistent with their control, either allow everything or nothing. The original issue still exists. Started with the latest updates. No problem with shared ID's prior, NONE. The conflicts should have been addressed before the update was implemented. Yes, that is their job.

Okay the issue is known and fixed with the following actions I'll describe further down in my post.


Let me start off by saying all our devices are running the current 8.3 iOS and all share the same iCloud/iTunes account. I too was experiencing calls appearing in my iPhone 5's call log that my wife made or received on her iPhone 6. My calls however were NOT showing in her iPhone's call logs.


I called Apple support and got a knowledgeable rep that helped me actually "fix" the issue. On each device, go into Settings/Facetime then turn off the "iPhone Cellular Calls" option. *By doing this however, you can NOT use your iPad to make/receive calls from your iPhones Cellular connection.
