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

    No it is not, if you do not like "Apples Way" don't use Apples products. Simple.

    Try to stay real, iCloud has not existed for 8 years, that is a BS statement you just made there.

    And how, exactly, is Apple supposed to know that it's someone other than you that has the device in their hands when they set it up? Brick and mortar merchants shouldn't let anyone other than you use your credit card, but when was the last time you had a cashier actually ask to see your ID when you bought something?

     

    Get real.

    Simple, one unique ID per device.

    Which would defeat the entire purpose of it. Syncing content between multiple devices.

    I have 2 phones 3 iPads and 9 Macs, so you suggest that I use 14 Apple ID's instead of 1 in order to accommodate your way of doing things

     

    Really?

    You have hundreds of passwords, what's the difference?

    Just did. You know Google and Firefox have the sync system (share) down pretty well. When you sync a new device you are given a list of things to sync or not on a per device basis. And all of you can continue to make your condescending comments but you can't deny that ID sharing worked perfectly before the recent updates. I must agree with darenH123, I am done, later.

    Actually, you can share one Apple ID among twenty-seven of your friends and associates.  Just don't come here and complain that you're having problems.  Bye.

    Then you should be using one of them instead of a system that does not do what you want.

    Apple still doesn't "prohibit" it. They just tell you bad things will happen if you do. As you have discovered. There are also posts complaining that contacts are shared across devices sharing an Apple ID, and similarly calendar entries, notes, reminders, documents saved to iCloud.

    Use their services. The Apple system WORKS AS INTENDED. This support community is designed to help people that are having trouble with their systems that are not working as intended. We are here to help with that. Right now you're taking up space on the server and distracting people from actually helping with someone that's actually having a problem with their system not working as intended.
    Apple ID was never intended as a solution for multiple people. It was possible to use with multiple people, but now it's not without having issues with your data syncing across all of the devices. If you want to argue about whether or not this syncing service is the one you want to use, head to mac rumors or gizmodo or something.

    You can send feedback to http://www.apple.com/feedback if you think they should have a different type of cloud service, but it's not likely that it's going to change.
