Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

Was it always there or did it show up one day after a upgrade?

Running in an unsupported configuration virtually guarantees that upgrades will carry unexpected and undesirable effects.

Are you saying I am running an unsupported config? When I added the business phone it asked if I wanted to add my iPhone to mirror it self on my other

devices I said no and it did it anyway.

Then change it.

Change what?  These 73 pages of content show that it can not be changed

You have not given any detail of what you have done, only that you want it to be different. I am not clairvoyant so what do you want me to tell you?

I shut off calls on other devices completely  because leaving it on and unchecking devices i did not want to share did not work. The only work around

was shutting off Facetime, which then stopped call history from copying to my personal iPhone. But there are times when havng Facetime is helpful

on some of the issues I deal with. But as soon as I turn on Facetime on the business phone the call history moves over to the personal phone,

I then tried to factory default and loaded a back up. It asked if i wanted to share call history I clicked no and it did it anyway.

I called Apple they said as has been pointed out before to get a different itunes id but that was and is not a solution I can use. Apple seemed to be aware

of the change in how the call history is shared between different devices but they could not explain how to successfully shut it off.

After I went to iOS 9 this problem did not show up for me it was one of the upgrades when I noticed that my personal iPhone started getting copies of

my business call history,

Apple already gave you the correct solution. Use separate ID's for separate phones.

When the phone asks if I want to share calls with other devices and I click no then it should not share..PERIOD. Apple has no answer for that and apparently

neither do you.  One release it worked as I wanted it to the next release it did not. The only thing that I have done that works is to shut off Facetime on the

business phone. It is obvious to me that there is some conflict that now exists that was not there before.

Again, if the phone asks to share the calls across devices ans you say no and it does it anyway then it is not pilot error.

But I do have a solution, use separate ID's for each phone, then it NEVER happens, exactly as Apple advised you to do. But you have elected to ignore the manufacturers advice and roll your own. So you will have to live with the consequences of your decision.

To quote you...

You want to argue semantics for have the problem fixed. Or do you like to argue for the sake of arguing?

You've been heard. Ignore the advice being offered, which is your right.

The manufacturer chose to give me the option as well which does not work as it did before. I have put in a request to change it, so that the other 99% of us

can have it work as it did before.

99% of iPhone users use their phones properly, thus they don't have this problem, it is self inflicted.

Sharing the same Apple id in several devices is very useful. In my case, my kids can install content paid by my credit card in their devices, provided I key in my Apple password. On the other hand, I can know where they are with “find my iPhone”. I’m pretty sure that this set up is used by a lot of people and sharing calls between devices is something undesirable: I hate when I see a lost call and I can’t figure out whether it was addressed to me or to my daughter.

I think we started noticing this strange behaviour after updating to iOS 9 and to me this is a bug regardless Apple admits it or not. I just want to recall all of you using iPhone Bluetooth links with your car’s entertainment systems since several years, when some release of iOS 4 was introduced and all contact names appeared with weird characters in the car screen. Apple stated they had updated their Bluetooth protocol to 4.0 and it was a problem of the car makers if they were not compliant with it. Can you imagine the iPhone users asking BMW, VW, Mercedes… retailers to update their car’s systems? Apple never admitted this was a bug and after 3 or 4 software updates they restored the compatibility. In the release notes of the update that fixed this, nothing was mentioned about the fix because they never admitted the bug.

Because it is not a bug
