There is no solution for sharing ALL our photos with eachother, in full resolution, and with all metadata.

There is no way to do that.  There simply isn't a way.

This exactly same thing started happening at random with my and my husbands phones. All the detailed settings are checked appropriately for our phones,etc... Getting random phone logs and random text messages to both our phones and we can be across the country from one another. We share an apple ID because our household shares the calendar, music, and apps.... He gets my entire call log and I get his and some random text messages go through? Weird and not consistent?

My thoughts exactly. I have multiple devices and multiple family members sharing them which are children. They are not getting their own apple IDs. I can't keep track of all of that. We have one apple ID for two phones, three iPads and two apple computers. Out of all of that our entire family uses it all with one apple ID. The only problem is our two phones are randomly sharing call logs and text messages even thought the right numbers are checked in the selection box... This error is not happening on our other devices. It just happening on our iPhone 6's and it can be when we are across the country from one another. Irritating.

I saw your original post.

How's your iPhone?

Our conditions and experience are precisely the same as joy34. Wanting this bug - and it's a bug - corrected. Thanks, joy34, for the affirmation.

Please inform Apple of your wishes. Feedback to Apple

It's not a bug.  It's a characteristic that impacts those that choose to use the phone in ways other than it was designed to be used.

It's the new Handoff feature that allows you to start a project on 1 apple device and then resume on another device. Any device that has it on will get info from the other devices even if they have it off. Settings->General->Handoff. Turn Handoff off...

EXACTLY. USE ONE ID PER USER. YOU CRACKED THE CODE!

As of right now Apple ID and iCloud work EXACTLY as they're supposed to. There are documents and articles telling you to use ONE apple ID PER PERSON. You can use a shared Apple ID for iTunes Store reasons, but it's not recommended, and you CAN NOT use a shared iCloud account without having a problem with sharing information between devices, as all devices that are signed in to the same iCloud account are designed to offer one continuous experience for one person.

That's the way it works. End of story. End of argument. Stop it. You need to be able to track each individual human for licensing purposes for the purchases made. You can dislike the way it works, but it is simply the way it works. If you find a different service that works better for you, awesome! Do the thing. This is not a bug, this is not a problem with the code. This is everything working as it's supposed to work and offering people that sign in to their iCloud to have a seamless experience.

Stop looking for a "Fix". This is EXPECTED BEHAVIOR.

I disagree. We have used 3 phones, 2 iPads & 1 Mac using the same Apple ID & iCloud account for

at least 2 years. Never a problem before. Only issue now is recent calls from 1 phone showing up on all 3.

No other issues. Otherwise, it works perfectly. All devices managed by 1 Apple ID account, all devices backed up

to 1 iCloud account, each device set up to back up only what's nended for its purpose. The recent calls issue is new & only issue(well, not so new anymore).

it is working exactly as designed. There is no problem with it. iCloud accounts are not meant to be shared. It's documented by apple. Deal with it and move on.

Doesn't matter really, this is how it is.

Well, if you can tolerate that issue, you can continue to ignore Apple's explicit recommended procedures.

I can offer no promises regarding your situation with future IOS releases.

I do have the same problems. Call list from one iPhone on the other iPhone one way.

Because it is one way, no one should say, this is a feature a feature and I have to split my IDs.

Because it worked in the past with seperate call lists and this happens only sometimes, no one should say, this is a feature a feature and I have to split my IDs.

Because I want to share findmyiphone, contacts, calendar, icloud sharing of different apps, of the same ID, ...

HandOff is turned off, usage of cell phone on different devices as well.

So Apple, this is really an anoying bug. Just fix it or put an Option for this "sharing" in the Settings for the user, who really want this. But then it should work all the time and not only sometimes and it should work in both directions and not only one way. => strange bug.

You are NOT talking to Apple.

It's been explained multiple times that iCloud IDs should NOT be shared between different people.

If you choose to do so anyway, in direct contradiction of Apple's documented recommendations, then you'll have to live with the consequences.

It is NOT a bug.
