Call History showing up on another iPhone

I too have the same problem that has only just come to light. I recently changed my email address and since changing on all devices we all now see call history. We use iPhones as business phones, so I set up all in my network with my apple ID so I can track the handsets using Find my iPhone. To set up an individual apple ID for each user for just this is ridiculous and would mean logging in and out to check each handset. Why is something that is related to the phone calls connected to the apple ID? this should be associated to the SIM card and or mobile carrier. Can anyone help?

No. No one here can help. We are not Apple. This is a user forum.

Not at all. For this situation you can either use Find My Friends to keep track of all your iOS devices that have different IDs, or set up Family Sharing such that your business phones are "children" to your primary ID, then you can use Find My iPhone to see them all.

The same has been happening to me. Turning off Wifi Calling, turned off Calls on Other Devices, Turned off Handoff etc. It went away but came back yesterday again after working. I found another post about Facetime and Use your Apple ID for Facetime so I turned it off too. Waiting to see if that works.

The only way to be certain it won't happen is to stop sharing Apple IDs.

Well I turned it all off (facetime and messages) on the two phones that show shared data and it still shares phone calls. I have 5 iphones and two ipads and three computers all sharing Apple ID's. This has not been a problem on all phones. This occurred for the first time a couple of months ago. Than I found out about some of the suggestions listed here and it seemed to work but it came back a short while later. At that time I reset my phone to an older backup and it worked. Now it came back around 3 days ago (at least when I noticed it). So before that all my phones had all shared Apple ID's and there were no issues. So to just say not to share Apple ID's is simplistic and not really correcting the actual problem.

Apple needs a fix. Class action anyone? Invasion of privacy? Apple should care.

Sharing ID's is a bad idea, and not recommended by the manufacturer, ignore their recommendation at your own risk and your Class Action is also at risk.

Apple needs a fix. Class action anyone? Invasion of privacy? Apple should care.

Best of luck when you admit using the same credentials on two unique devices against the manufacturer's direction.

Invasion of Privacy? When you knowingly, willingly share the same credentials with another device? You are compromising your own privacy.

Apple has provided a reasonable solution to the sharing of purchased content in Family Sharing.

Look i drank the Kool-aid years ago too. You don't have to stick up for Apple more than I do. However this is something new. I have had iphones since day 1 and they have always had the same Apple ID since day one. Why is it only now that there are issues? Something changed and Apple needs to fix it. Period!

This also doesn't explain why only two phones are affected and not all the iphones. Remember there are five on the same Apple ID. So to just put it on me that the manufacturer is not at fault is just short sighted. Why than does this effect only two phones and not all the phones. They all had identical settings before and the still do today except I turned off Apple ID for iMessage and Facetime on all the phones today. Yet the same two phones share phone call logs still.

Apple IDs have become similar to phone numbers. They are now used to identify a device mapped to both an Apple ID (email address) and a phone number. These 2 endpoints are mapped to each other in a database. When a message is sent to find one entity, it can also find the other. If two users have knowingly made their devices the same entity, this is what will happen.

We are back to the the days of telephone party lines. Multiple users sharing a single communication line.

Apple IDs have evolved, not become broken.

This has nothing to do with Koolaid. In fact, I don't even use an iPhone day to day. I am sticking up for logic and common sense.

"Doctor, doctor... it hurts when I do this..."

"Then don't do that"

The only thing that changed is that you decided that you knew better than Apple, and clearly you don't. Just do it as Apple recommend and your problem will end, Its your choice.

Thanks for all the helpful comments from those that post facts. So all you commentators with so many condescending comments keep them to yourselves and only post helpful comments. Period!

Nobody has offered to explain why only two phones of five have the issues mentioned above, not affecting the three others that have shared one Apple ID since 2008 too. Why did this only start several months ago after working since 2008? Apple has not made it mandatory to set up new Apple ID's. Recommended or not Apple has not sent out notices to Apple ID users about issues with their services. If so please copy and paste here for myself and everyone else that are having issues today with this and other sync issues.

If you expect that your commands not to post here will be followed you will be disappointed, this is a public forum and you do not control it, if you need to be in charge you should start your own forum.

You need to provide more information than you have. What model are these 5 phones, and what and iOS versions are they running? You indicate that Settings are identical - are you absolutely certain of that? Have you compared one of the two phone's Settings to one of the remaining phone's Settings to verify that they are set up exactly the same way in every regard, including what Apple ID is signed in where?
