Call History showing up on another iPhone

Ok, so I have NO IDEA why this is still going on and why y'all are still fighting over it, but I have an idea. Apple WILL NOT argue with you over something if you personally believe it is a bug. However, I can tell you without ANY QUESTION at all that THIS IS INTENDED BEHAVIOR. All documentation on the matter tells you to use a different Apple ID and different iCloud for EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING THAT IS USING IT. If you don't like it, scoot over to Google, but Google also behaves almost exactly the same way. Two people, two IDs. No skipping out or trying to trick it to save money. Two people, two IDs.

This issue is not something that is going to always happen, but it is part of the ecosystem, and the official fix is USING ONE ID PER PERSON. Also, it's good to remember that even Apple employees are human and make mistakes, especially when confronted with an issue that very few people deal with, since almost everyone uses the prescribed ONE ID PER HUMAN system.

Now stop bickering, stop fighting, use your ID as it's intended per the documentation and not according to one person or another that works there.

An why is there an option to share (or not to share) the call list between several devices BELONGING TO THE SAME APPLE ID?

What we only want is the OS to behave according to the settings we choose: if I select not to share the call list between THE VARIOUS DEVICES BELONGING TO MY APPLE ID I won't expect that call lists continue to be shared.

My point exactly.

Did you mark the call lists not to be shared?

Yes, sure

Well I did.. and it shared them anyway. The only thing that lends credence to your contention is a misleading setting in Phone. Calls on other devices.

That apparently does not mean that call history is not shared but rather when a voice or text message comes through it is shared or if you choose not

to share between devices. I have not tried it yet but possibly shutting off wifi calling also may cure the call history problem. But for sure shutting down

Facetime on my business phone shuts down call history transfers to my personal phone.

UPDATE: I turned off wifi calling on my business phone and turned Facetime back on I also turned on Calls on other devices but chose no other devices. So far call history is not transferring to my personal phone or from my personal phone to the business phone. I will verify this as the day goes on.

It appears that wifi calling when turned on causes the call history to be transferred.

I would like to ask others to try also to turn off wifi calling in the phone setting to see if call history transfers halts.

Why tell me?

having ignored advice from Apple you get to live with the mess YOU made

You can keep turning features off all the time, eventually the entire iPhone will be off, then the problem won't exist.

Turning off wi-fi calling did not fix it for me. This is between an iPhone 5s and 6s. Sigh...

Two different phones but only one ID I assume.

So far what has worked for me was another suggestion here. If both phones have the same main contact in settings> mail, contacts, calendars and at the bottom

where my info is located the phones will share the the phone history, What I did was change my info in my business phone to my bus email contact, and left my personal phone with my personal email ( MY Info). It appears that just changing My Info disconnected phone history from being shared. You may need

to add a new my info contact with a different email address to one or the other phone. I would assume that you use two phones either one for another

person or both for you with one being used for business and the other for personal. This will not affect iTunes. Either way, if all your phones have a different

My Info contact email address they will not share phone history.

Since I did this I have not had the problem for about 2 weeks.

Once again, each phone needs to have a different my info contact email address.

Please let us know if this was the final solution.. I hope it is as simple as that for us.

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.
