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?

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.

The same thing is happening to me. Wife uses a 4S on iOS 8.3 and I use a 5S on iOS 8.3.


I see all of my wife's calls on my iPhone. I noticed it two weeks ago and at first it freaked me out. Thought there was a glitch with the phone and cleared my call history, rebooted the phone and thought all is normal. But yesterday and today it is happening again.


And yes we both share the same iTune's account, didn't know that sort of thing was frowned upon. Regardless, we never had this problem before. I do not use Handoff & Suggested Apps, those things have always been turned off on my iPhone and that is not even an option on my wife's 4S.


And you do not need to be on the same network for this to happen. I am at work and my wife is at home and I am seeing all the calls she is making today while I am sitting at my desk at work. And two weeks ago when I first noticed it, she was on the other side of the country.


I guess its not a huge problem, it is just weird. I look at my iPhone and see all these calls I did not make or receive.


Hopefully Apple will come up with a fix for this soon.

Don't tell people what to do when you don't know the answer.

The answer is again: use Family Share if the problem really bothers you.If you want more help contact Apple Support directly. Actually Apple (or anyone else on this forum) really doesn't care what you do or if you follow the advice given here. And I really don't care either. Deal with your reality as you wish.


Have a nice day.

I think the misunderstanding is on your part, sir.


I have never had the Hand-off feature enabled. I have used one Apple ID for all of my devices, so it isn't shared with anyone, but is on multiple devices. If you are suggesting that every device needs its own Apple ID, then what is the point of the Mail and Keychain sync capabilities?


Most importantly: what part of "no one reported this issue until starting last Friday, 22 May" is not clear to you? Another poster has stated that they have spoken to Apple via phone, and was told this is not expected behavior. Something changed, and of the 3+ dozen people on this thread, at least one of them (me) never changed a thing on the devices.


Enough with the "don't share Apple ID" stuff. It is a red herring. I've been in this field for 30+ years, and 13 of those were with... Apple. If you can offer a cogent explanation as to why one person sharing an Apple ID across multiple devices is bad, please offer it up to substantiate your claims. Yes, not sharing will "solve" the problem. That makes about as much sense and putting my phone in Airplane mode to stop spam phone calls 😝


It's a cloud-side bug that was introduced around 22 May, and Apple's typically opaque process for fixing anything doesn't help. Let's hope they get enough phone calls to alert the developers. As you say, they aren't paying attention to our nice discussion, lol.

Is it a red herring? This was just posted:


Separating iMessage due to Divorce


(and this is one of many "problems" due to sharing Apple IDs that have been aired here on this forum; do a search if you don not believe me). In any case, the solution as of this moment (unless you have a better one and/or until Apple recognizes the "bug" and fixes it) is the one I have explained.

Have a nice day.

You just replied the exact same thing to another guys post about the exact same issue, like 48 hours ago. Can you actually try to help? It seems like you have the knowledge but you also have some weird grudge against people who share an iCloud account. It's going to be shared, stop trying to be the iCloud account sharing police. This same issue is happening to me and obviously, a lot of other people as well. So instead of trying to browbeat people into submitting to separate iCloud accounts (which is not freakin practical for a family, especially one with kids with phones) please try to be helpful. The guy you said this to earlier this week, you basically derailed his entire question and made it about something that he didn't even post about. And for God sakes, TURNING OFF IPHONE CELLULAR CALLS IN FACETIME IS NOT THE ANSWER. IT STILL HAPPENS.....OUT OF THE BLUE.....ALL OF THE SUDDEN.....WITH NO CRAZY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SETTINGS.
