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?

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.

All you need to do is change My Info. First add to each phone your contact info with a different name and a different email address for each phone in contacts. Then go to Settings--> Contacts--> My Info Then chose the new contact

you added to contacts for that phones user.


I have 2 iPhones and started to have this problem with the call history . On the advice of a much earlier reply in this

thread, I changed the My Info for the business phone to my business email address and my personal phone with

my personal email address. I changed my name slightly by adding my middle initial for one of the phones.


I have had no more problems with each phone sharing call history.

I figured this out on my own, and it worked. Turn off iCloud Drive on both devices. No more call sharing.


That recommendation was made pages and pages ago, and it ultimately did not work for the people who had tried it.


I would recommend that you follow the instructions that garypaul has provided. He has been with this thread almost from the beginning, and his solution is undoubtedly the only one that is going to work permanently.


Cheers,

Hi,

I've split my personal and professional info into two separate contacts. The only identical data between the two are my first and last name. I can see both phones use a different contact from the other (on top of Contacts list, The "Me" picture is not the same) but my recent calls are still shared between the two.

Any idea?
