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

FYI we share icloud because it allows us to have a synchronized calendar, "find my iphone" and contacts under the same account. But this **** is weird. If I find anything, I'll share it here.

It is not weird. It is working as it is meant to. iDevices that share the same Apple/iCloud ID will have content synched amongst the devices, and will "ring" once a call is received if the Handoff/Continuity feature is enabled and therefore you will see calls on the log of both phones. Handoff will only work if the two devices are on the same Wifi network.

If you want to "synch" calendars, share a calendar only or use the Family share feature:

Yeah, that's probably best. I wouldn't worry about confusing the poster as she quickly understood my reference to Family Sharing. She made a mistake but she's competent.

Follow Gail's instructions and the two phones will become separate.

Is this Apples opinion or yours?

Thanks! Other folks have called Apple and have confirmed the same thing but not believed by the usual crowd... It will get fixed eventually.

That was no accusation. It was a statement of fact.

Ahh yes, you know through the electrons on your screen that the poster never called Apple. Talk about delusional!

>> Please provide evidence that such is the case.

Please provide a list to Apple's internal bugs if you think differently.

That doesn't cover if call history sharing is a feature or a bug. That's my point - no more, no less.

Interpret it as you wish Dunc, 1 ID per person is the manufacturers recommendation. You can do what you want, it makes no difference to me.
