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

    Your useless, smartA remark and I quote "That's Apple's fault? Really?" Next. Please post a pic of the cobwebs.

    As I thought. You can't point out where I bashed anyone nor where I stated my opinion as facts. Now please go away.

    Typical "high level" apple wannabe. Post all you want no one listens to you because you have absolutely nothing helpful to say.

    Isn't there a bridge you can go troll under somewhere?

    Do not share iCloud accounts. iCloud accounts are not intended to be shared. That will resolve your issue.

    I could have sworn there was a 10 device limit when it came to sharing an iCloud account.

     

    After some searching, I came across this thread, How many devices can use one iCloud account?

    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/08/10/apple-id-limited-10-devices/

     

    Even Apple states you can have up to 10 devices.

    Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

    "When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

     

    This is the reason why I have always shared my iCloud account with my wife, because I remembered hearing about it and reading about it.  We both use an iPhone and use an iPad, 4 devices between the two of us, using the same iCloud account.  We share Apps and both of our phone numbers are registered with Apple for iMessage.  It has always worked and we have never had this problem until several weeks ago with the phone numbers appearing on each others device.

    Nothing seems to fix. It actually occurs only 1 way for my wife and I and it is only doing it while on cellular. Not wifi   Turning off handoff did not help. We already use separate ID for messaging and FaceTime. The only thing we share an ID for is apps and music. Mainly because iTunes Match does not work with multiple ID family share EVEN though we paid the $25 for each account in the family share plan.

     

    Skynet posted exactly why we share our main ID (Thank You) but we each use separate ID's for Facetime and messaging.

    My wife and I thought about creating separate ID's for iMessage and FaceTime, but since you can associate more than one phone number with an Apple ID, we just use our phone numbers only for iMessages and FaceTime and leave the email address for the iCloud account unchecked, and it works perfect for us.

     

    It just amazes me about all the responses about how your not supposed to share an account and so forth when in fact you can and Apple even states you can.

     

    Hopefully Apple fixes this bug soon.

    True, don't know why these people come on here and think they really know what they are talking about.  They should be the ones band...

     

    as of today my issue has been resolved since last Sunday.  (Read my previous comments).

    I just logged into this support forum for the first time to say this is happening to me also, and none of the suggested items works.

     

    To the **** continually saying not to share iCloud across multiple devices.  That is not a valid answer and frankly your continual push for that solution makes you look bad.

     

    We need a real solution that restores prior functionality, that Apple allows.

    I agree that the calendar portion of that statement is the best way to go. My wife and I have had separate calendar accounts through gcal since they started, and we just "subscribe" to each other's calendars. Has worked that way for iCloud calendars as well.

    The reason I share an iCloud account with my wife (even in the face of the newer family features) is due to contacts. Contacts can't be subscribed to, and manually syncing contacts between accounts is a step backwards.

    There are workarounds on the phone, and it is more a matter of willpower setting up the requisite family icloud account and the (2) separate but equal icloud accounts for my wife and I. I dabbled before, but in the end found it easier to just carry on as usual.

    I do fear that the day is coming somewhat soon when the utility of using one icloud account for (2) people will end.

    What a most unhelpful thread!.

     

    Those using the iphone since the launch of the first iphone will all know that sharing your ID was common practice to avoid purchasing duplicate material. How folks can repeat post after post that the IDs are not meant to be shared is beyond me. It's been the common practice of nearly all families since 2007. This includes folks who don't have an iphone, but an itunes account and again don't want to purchase duplicate material. This has worked fine for most until iOS 8.3. Apple changed something. What did they change? Duplicating all info from one iphone to another. What would have been more helpful would have been the following statement:

     

    Although sharing IDs has been a widespread practice, with the changes of iOS 8.3 Apple has decided to place a single ID's content on all devices that are signed into that ID. In an attempt to alleviate the frustration, they have created Family Sharing. This in essence is an attempted replacement for sharing ID's across phones, tablets and computers.

     

    Something you might want to be aware of if you go down the family sharing line. Even though apple say all purchases can be done through a single debit/credit card, in reality every new user who signs up cannot do so without their own payment details. Further, trying to create an account for a child requires adding a credit card to your account as proof that you are the account holder. So all-in-all family sharing is essentiually apple harvesting contact details of all your family members and gaining extra payment methods. nothing to say of the hassle of setting this up.

     

    I think I can live with extra recent calls in my iphone and hope that the jailbreak community will issue a fix for this, as apple certainly won't.

    iCloud is a single user system, you can use it incorrectly if you choose, but that is your choice, and a bad one.

    Er no.

     

    I use it how I choose to not how you want me to use it. The fact that it has allowed multiple users for the past 8 years is sufficient evidence. It has worked well as a multiple user platform for those 8 years. Thanks.
