Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

This will solve the problem go to settings--Mail,contacts,calendars-- scroll down to the contacts section and click on the my info tab and change that to the correct iPhone contact number. If your phone is logged into the same iTunes iCloud sign in it defaulted to that main contact. I have a personal phone and business phone and my business phone was listed as my personal contact name under my info that is why all the calls would show in recent calls this will solve the problem.

For me it started when I updated to 902. My wife's iPhone is still on 901.

Lawrence,

I've been grappling with this one as well. I get the 1 person 1 ID thing - makes sense to me. All I am trying to find is how to decouple my daughters iPhone and MBP from my iCloud to her own without doing something stupid and losing data etc. Are you able to point a 'little knowledge is a dangerous thing' person in the right direction?

If you don't share data in iCloud just create a new iCloud ID for her, then couple them with Family Sharing. Family Sharing - Apple Support

this works if you ALSO turn off the icloud drive on the phone you don't want duplicate recents...for example i share an apple id with my wife and i set her phone to "her" contact info...then turned my icloud drive off , set my contact info to "me" and it kept "my" contact info...i then turned icloud drive on,on my phone and it set my contact info to hers.....so only one person can use icloud drive while sharing an apple id...so the bug is with icloud drive not being able to be shared WITH a shared apple id..hope this helps

Hi all,

I have been having the same problem with my iPhone, when I make a call from my work iPhone the calls are showing up on my personal phone and this is a new development as this has never happened before also it has been happening when I am not connected to WiFi. I own both phones and so they share one iCloud account. So I have been looking into this issue and the fix that has worked for me is to go into Settings, then Face Time and turned off iPhone Cellular Calls on both phones and this has fixed the problem.

I really do not understand this bug, because of the current different "solutions". And where this behavior technically comes from.

Is it synced via "iPhone Cellular Calls"-Option, because some of you wrote, that it stopped happening if you switched of only this option. For me, this didn’t help. It is switched off, but the sync is still there. So this is not the final solution, but I could help.

Or is it synced via Facetime, because some of you wrote, that it stopped happening if you switched of facetime on one or both of the iPhones. So this is not the final solution, but I could help.

Or is it (only) synced via iCloud documents/drive. I thought initially, that this is the work-around, but I need iCloud for both of my work/private iPhones and this is, for what iCloud is designed for.

And some of you have it in both ways from each iPhone to the other. Some of you (as I) have it only in one way from one iPhone to the other, but not in the other direction.

And some of you have it always, but some (as I) only have this from time to time and only by chance. And it starts for some after migrating from one iOS-.x version, for some when migrating to x. version. For me it starts at one point of time, without any update on both iPhones and with 8.x.

This all is really a curiosity, if there is no description, when and with with which iOs-versions and with which settings is should work all the time and in both directions (if really no bug, but feature) and with no descriptions to switch this off, for the users with two personal work/private-iPhones, who do not want this crap.

I think, the "best" way should be the iPhone Cellular Calls-Option. If I want to call with different iPhones on the same number, then perhaps, I want to have the call list synced. If not, not. Or the really best way should be a simple "sync call list"-switch in the Options. Voila.

Here is my solution:

On the iPhone that you might want to use for FaceTime with Apple ID:

1) Go to Settings > Phone > Call on Other Devices

2) ENABLE "Allow Calls on Other Devices"

3) In the list "Allow calls on" uncheck the second iPhone

This will explicitly tell not to use shared call history, in my understanding.

On the second iPhone, go to  Settings > FaceTime and sign out from using Apple ID. This will automatically disable Call on Other Devices on that phone.

(You may want to restart both phones after that)

So far it's working for me.

This seems to solve the problem, at least for me.

I Don't need ICLOUD DRIVE in my other iPhone so I unchecked from: Settings -> iCloud -> iCloud Drive (NO)

I've tested it for 24 hours and seems to be ok.

greetings.

Every since last week when my work phone was upgraded to IPhone 6 plus, same as personal phone, the stupid everything-call history, etc. was shared on both phones using same ID. I have always used the same ID and I've had two IPhones for three years now. This is a very recent issue. I have tried everything possible to keep the two from sharing and nothing has worked, except for this recommendation that you just gave. I'm so relieved. I really didn't like call history from work going onto my personal phone. I had accidentally hit callback on some of those numbers that I really don't want have my personal number. Thank you!! Just for everyone, I tried turning off: FaceTime, Handoff, anything possible that could link the two phones, everything that anyone has suggested, short of creating another Apple ID which would be stupid because there are things that I like to access between phones, such as notes. This worked!

This is a bug.  There is no feature that is documented claiming that call history lists are necessarily to be shared with the same Apple ID.  If there was, it would happen all the time, not randomly.  Also someone should be able to post a link to that claim and I haven't seen one yet (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659).  Yes, if one doesn't share Apple IDs, the problem goes away.  But shared Apple ID was designed for a user with multiple devices and they may want the call history lists separate just like fingerprints are stored on separate devices.  Splitting Apple IDs is a workaround, not a solution.

Apple ID's were never designed to be shared, if you want to share one, live with the consequences of using it incorrectly.

Tell Apple about the 'bug' here apple.com/feedback

I have my iMac, iPad , 2 iPhones, 2 watches, 2 apple tv's everything with one Apple ID and everything worked fine before ios9. Maybe one ID is also the correct way
