Q: My recent calls appearing 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

    That is the problem currently as well; Apple never admits they did anything.

    I called Apple support on this issue again and talked to Eden at level 2. She has an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6s and she is not having this BUG.

    I also left a feed back with Apple. I was able to get around the problem by shutting off Facetime on one phone but that was just a work around.

     

    I would sugest to everyone having this problem to leave a feedback with apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    Come on!

     

    Go to Settings, Phone, Sharing calls in other devices. Apparently you have even the possibility to select with which devices you want to share your call list.

     

    What most people is complaining in this threat is that you turn all other devices to of and even if you turn sharing calls to off calls are still being synchronized within your devices.

     

    You say this is not a bug?

    No, it is NOT a bug, its a case of CF

    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.

    Did you mark the call lists not to be shared?

    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.

    So far turning off wifi calling on my business phone has prevented the call history from transferring over to my personal phone.
