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

    You can keep turning features off all the time, eventually the entire iPhone will be off, then the problem won't exist.

    Turning off wi-fi calling did not fix it for me. This is between an iPhone 5s and 6s.  Sigh...

    Two different phones but only one ID I assume.

    So far what has worked for me was another suggestion here. If both phones have the same main contact in  settings> mail, contacts, calendars and at the bottom

    where my info is located the phones will share the the phone history, What I did was change my info in my business phone to my bus email contact, and left my personal phone with my personal email ( MY Info). It appears that just changing My Info disconnected phone history from being shared. You may need

    to add a new my info  contact with a different email address to  one or the other phone. I would assume that you use two  phones either one for another

    person or both for you with one being used for business and the other for personal. This will not affect iTunes. Either way, if all your phones have a different

    My Info contact email address they will not share phone history.

     

    Since I did this I have not had the problem for about 2 weeks.

     

    Once again, each phone needs to have a different my info contact email address.

     

    Please let us know if this was the final solution.. I hope it is as simple as that for us.

    This will solve the problem go to settings--Mail,contacts,calendars-- scroll down to the contacts section and click on the my info tab and change that to the correct iPhone contact number. If your phone is logged into the same iTunes iCloud sign in it defaulted to that main contact. I have a personal phone and business phone and my business phone was listed as my personal contact name under my info that is why all the calls would show in recent calls this will solve the problem.

    I can tell you that this doesn't work. My iPhone is synchroniced with my company exchange server and is sharing the call list with my kids iPhone's which have their own contacts.

    STOP sharing an iCloud account.  Why is this such a difficult concept?

    Not difficult at all. I have perfectly explained before why I share my id in several devices.

     

    I have also explained that the iOS has a menu point where the user can choose whether the call list is shared or not between devices within the SAME APPLE ID but problem is that calls continue to be shared regardless the setting chosen. This is clearly a BUG in the iOS and I'm pretty sure will be corrected as were other BUGS never acknowledged by Apple.

     

    This concept is a little bit more difficult than yours but I'm sure you can do your best to understand it.

     

    Cheers

    Note the example below; the My Info  has to be different for each iPhone. Most likely

    your My Info is your personal email not your company email.

    This is not how it looks when you sync with exchange server. If I press "My info" I get in to the Exchange Contacts.

    I know.. choose your name from the exchange server then your call history will not be shared with your kids. that way your kids will not tip off Mom that you called the jewelry shop

    Sorry. You're wrong. Calls on other devices has nothing to do with the call list. The answer is simple. Do NOT use the same iCloud account for devices being used by different people.   If you choose to IGNORE Apple's recommendations, you'll have to live with the consequences.

    I called support. I got to level 2 support. The person I talked to also has 2 iPhones on the same iCould account and that person is not having this problem.

    Then I have to apologize.
