Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

Because it works only one way, it is a bug even if this behavior is really wanted, what I do not think.

The Fanboys should stop to give only work-arrounds for existing bugs.

Then why don't you call AppleCare and see what they have to say about it.

Your refusal to accept the truth will not alter reality in any way.

Dear Kilted Tim, you are not contributing. We all know that you don't like people sharing IDs. This is not even about that. Some of us have several devices (all our own) with SIM cards from different countries, each for its own purpose. I will not create a separate ID for each of my devices because it makes no sense.

There is clearly a bug. It appears at random, for mixed calls on mixed devices, with no pattern whatsoever.

Please let people use the Apple service in the way it suits them. Your way does not suit everybody. You should finally accept this and stop continuously repeating the same empty sentence because it doesn't help anyone and certainly not this forum. This is a technical forum, not an opinion forum.

It is not a matter of what I like or don't like. It's a matter of Apple's documented statements on the matter.

It is NOT a bug. Sharing an ID is a violation of Apple's documented statements on the sharing of iCloud IDs.

That is the CORRECT technical answer. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't true.

If people want to use the service in ways that violate or contradict Apple's instructions on the matter, then the results of doing so are not problems that can be fixed here.

As you said, this is a technical support forum, not an opinion forum. If you don't want to follow the documentation, then go complain about the results somewhere else.

Kilted Tim  - I repeat what I just said. I am not sharing Apple IDs. I have several devices of MY OWN with SIM cards each from different countries. (which are ALL FOR ME - I AM ONE PERSON!) Would you expect me to create 7 x Apple IDs for myself? Is this the correct way Tim?

And I repeat once again, recent calls list being repeat, at random, between different devices, at random, with no pattern, is a Bug.

Thats it.

ID-Split is not an option for backup, keychaine, ...... All this was propagated from apple to use one ID per user and not per device.

And not all calls are displayed, at not all the time and not on all devices and ...

Then call Apple. This is a user forum. We can not effect a change to the way it works.

No question this "feature" is buggy. Perhaps it works as intended, if so, apparently this is a feature where you have no option but to use and love it because it's Apple and they simply never mess up. There is no way to effectively turn off this "feature", you must share all your recent calls (correction, random recent calls with random devices on same ID) you are forced to use it in this manner and can not disable the silly feature of sharing call logs on all devices (regardless of number used), this sure sounds like a home-run for Apple here folks. If this kind of functionality is intended to not be optional here, keyword OPTIONAL, (Note: I don't ever want to share my recent calls with all my devices that use different numbers, so don't force me to), then I will begin to pare down my Apple inventory.

Regarding this being a user forum, not Apple. Most of us came here to see what was going on. All of a sudden our devices worked in a "buggy" and non-intuitive way. Some came to see if there was an option to change in settings, you know because we don't need or want this "feature" on.

I simply turned off icloud and this buggy feature (and its non-sense) is GONE!

I personally, don't get that much from icloud anyway at this point and it's a good excuse to wean off of it, I won't manage multiple ID's for my family and our many Apple devices, it makes no sense for us as users. Those of us who have families need a simple way to manage our devices without having to enter multiple ID's and passwords every time a parent approves of an app or needs to backup devices, etc., it can be a pain dealing with just one ID! Keep in mind, I basically own all the devices my family uses, that's how it works until they're on their own (and can manage their own devices AND finances). Of course this is a non-issue for families that spend their money in other ways, on other products, that may actually have forums where people try to be helpful rather than snarky and authoritarian.

This a bug.  We have 4 iphones using the same icloud account.  All the calls from two phones (upgraded to the latest iOS) show up all the phones.  The calls from the other phones (unpgraded to 8.3) do not show up on any of the phones.

"We" implies the phones are being used by different people....

Not if you are Royalty.

You are absolutely right. socalpk.

There has to be an option in the settings for that. If this is really wanted by Apple, what I do not think. And than it should work in all directions and on all iPhones with the same ID. They can bundle it with the "use cellular calls" for example. If I want, that all the devices ring, they could have the same call list. But íf I have exactly this disables and do not want to have the calls on all devices, I do not want to have the call lists there.

And regarding Support vs. Forum: Due to that, that Apple do not offer an E-Mail-support-address or text-form and I have to call the support, this is another anoying thing.

So, more or less, for me this is a kind of "writing my frustration" to this apple-site and sharing my frustration and opinion to other users, that "they are not alone".

Otherwise know as "ranting".

Everyone can absolutely use iPhones or any other Apple equipment in whatever manner they choose.  However, when they come to the forum whining that the results are not what they want, the only legitimate response is an instruction to use the iPhone they way it was designed to be used.

There is no bug.  The iPhone is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

No.  Your option is to purchase a different mobile phone, one that functions in the manner that you wish.
