Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

I hope the problem is because of using same icloud account,so please try to use diffrent icloud accounts and check if the problem is solved or not.

I see no reason for sharing an Apple ID with other person. One can always set up the Family Sharing. And I can see no reason disabling iCloud syncing over different devices. That's what it was made for: sync over different devices!

For the Recent Call list syncing over 2 iPhones or devices (this forum subject) I've solved this problem turning off the FaceTime "iPhone Cellular Calls" in one device. Voilà! No more recent calls list syncing.

rgds,

Here "iPhone Cellular Calls" in one device is switched of on both devices. But the sync remains from time to time and in one direction.

Do you use FaceTime on both devices? Try turning off FaceTime in one of them.

Thanks arganto for something relevant, that's the scenario I'm seeing.  ljcbraga - Facetime is off on the phone getting erroneous  data.  It's not a case of them syncing on the same WLAN - happens when the phones are on separate cell towers, so it's being uploaded to iCloud. 

And I think I found it!  Just turn off iCloud Drive and leave the other services on.  Eureka!

Apparently you CAN use the same iCloud account across devices the way you ought to be able to, just took some digging.

Where is Apple in this matter? Apple confronted us suddenly with this major problem and keeps his mouth shut! If Apple wants us to have our own Apple ID (account) that’s fine, but it would be polite to the costumer if they inform us first, so that everyone can anticipate on the matter. Now I was suddenly confronted with the recent calls from my wife, what could be the beginning of a lot of problems. This matter came unexpected and unannounced and I am waiting for the first claim to Apple. So, this saying I think it’s an ordinary bug. I cannot believe that Apple is acting this way deliberately. If so, then it is a very arrogant action with no respect for the privacy of their costumers at all!

The fact that Apple introduced Family Sharing shows that the focus is on using same ID’s only for people who uses more devices and not for sharing it with family members. It can also be shared with friends and more and that is not good for the Apple store business. So Apple looked for a trick how tot tackle this problem. That’s hard, because how to find out for Apple who is family and who is a friend or neighbor? Well, you don’t like to share your recent call list with your friends or neighbors and Apple thought that sharing it with family would not be a big problem. IT IS! Apple forces us to make our own ID’s and gives us Family Sharing in stead with a maximum of six persons.

I understand Apple if this is the real reason for the change, but de execution of it doesn’t disserves a price.

Question: Does this problem not exists in Family Sharing? If not, all above makes sens.

(Excuses for my English, it’s not my mother language)

Apple's position has been made clear in this post over and over again.

Don't share Apple ID's between different users.

And again, what do this have to do with the problem? It is not shared between different users, but icloud is shared for different devices for one user. And this user gets this syncs from time to time and only one way.

What, you mean like they did when you created the account to begin with?

Um.. no. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Then 'this user' has set everything up incorrectly.

And 'this user' can do whatever he/she wants, Apples position at least is clear.

And can you then please explain, what this user has ser incorrectly. The user enabled iCloud on two own iPhone to share (Keychane, documents, ...) over both iPhones and with this iCloud-documents (this is, for what iCloud is build for), the user gets the recent call list synced from time to time and only in one direction.

I have never read anything from Apple regarding this sync, that means, when it should occure and when not and in which direction, so Apple's Position is not clear.

A sync is bi-directional, or it is not a sync.

As I said before 'this user' may do whatever they wish, I am not affected by it.

There is an unlimited amount of wrong ways to do things and it's not possible to analyze the reasons why the wrong ways produce strange results.

I have two iphones and two Ipads.  Personal and Work.  I am one user and should I not use the same apple ID on those four devices?     

Can you put your question in context? This thread has traveled through many curves over the 23 pages it has consumed. No one has stated that you should not have the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on all of your own devices. The only statement about using different Apple IDs has come in when two different people on different devices are using the same Apple ID.

So, if you are having an issue, can you please state specifically what it is, and we will try to help you resolve it.

Cheers,
