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.

I shut off calls on other devices completely because leaving it on and unchecking devices i did not want to share did not work. The only work around

was shutting off Facetime, which then stopped call history from copying to my personal iPhone. But there are times when havng Facetime is helpful

on some of the issues I deal with. But as soon as I turn on Facetime on the business phone the call history moves over to the personal phone,

I then tried to factory default and loaded a back up. It asked if i wanted to share call history I clicked no and it did it anyway.


I called Apple they said as has been pointed out before to get a different itunes id but that was and is not a solution I can use. Apple seemed to be aware

of the change in how the call history is shared between different devices but they could not explain how to successfully shut it off.


After I went to iOS 9 this problem did not show up for me it was one of the upgrades when I noticed that my personal iPhone started getting copies of

my business call history,

When the phone asks if I want to share calls with other devices and I click no then it should not share..PERIOD. Apple has no answer for that and apparently

neither do you. One release it worked as I wanted it to the next release it did not. The only thing that I have done that works is to shut off Facetime on the

business phone. It is obvious to me that there is some conflict that now exists that was not there before.


Again, if the phone asks to share the calls across devices ans you say no and it does it anyway then it is not pilot error.

Sharing the same Apple id in several devices is very useful. In my case, my kids can install content paid by my credit card in their devices, provided I key in my Apple password. On the other hand, I can know where they are with “find my iPhone”. I’m pretty sure that this set up is used by a lot of people and sharing calls between devices is something undesirable: I hate when I see a lost call and I can’t figure out whether it was addressed to me or to my daughter.


I think we started noticing this strange behaviour after updating to iOS 9 and to me this is a bug regardless Apple admits it or not. I just want to recall all of you using iPhone Bluetooth links with your car’s entertainment systems since several years, when some release of iOS 4 was introduced and all contact names appeared with weird characters in the car screen. Apple stated they had updated their Bluetooth protocol to 4.0 and it was a problem of the car makers if they were not compliant with it. Can you imagine the iPhone users asking BMW, VW, Mercedes… retailers to update their car’s systems? Apple never admitted this was a bug and after 3 or 4 software updates they restored the compatibility. In the release notes of the update that fixed this, nothing was mentioned about the fix because they never admitted the bug.

I called Apple support on this issue again and talked to Eden at level 2. She has an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6s and she is not having this BUG.

I also left a feed back with Apple. I was able to get around the problem by shutting off Facetime on one phone but that was just a work around.


I would sugest to everyone having this problem to leave a feedback with apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Come on!


Go to Settings, Phone, Sharing calls in other devices. Apparently you have even the possibility to select with which devices you want to share your call list.


What most people is complaining in this threat is that you turn all other devices to of and even if you turn sharing calls to off calls are still being synchronized within your devices.


You say this is not a bug?
