Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

If anyone including you has anything new and enlightening to add on the issue, I'd be glad to hear it... facts are facts no matter who says them...

To John,


You wrote: "No other number or email appeared"... did you mean checked off or literally appear?  The latter is controlled by your Apple ID's verified devices and email, right?... If the former, for each of my phones, I only have the actual device phone number checked.  For my iPsd, it's an email address. I'm still getting mingling...

Check your Facetime settings, I guess both iPhones are using the same Apple ID, go to settings - Facetime and unmark the option to receive calls from your phone number. Do this on both phones.

Thanks... it won't let me unmark the phone number unless I choose something else... I'll try an email and report back...

I misspoke - it won't let me uncheck the primary device number, just add/remove other addresses - so I just toggled FaceTime - we'll see...

If you and your wife both share the same iCloud then that is why you see her call history because you guys both have the same iCloud which is how your phones data an other information is stored

Any other numbers or emails are just checked off on my main phone. (calling it iPhone6Black) I can still see phone numbers and an email, but they just are not checked.

On all other devices, (iPhone6White and iPhone6Plus) I have "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime" turned off, so that only it's own respective phone# shows.

Doesn't look like this fix is working for you. Not sure why this fix seems to have corrected the issue for me. Good luck.

Thanks... I thought you had to be signed in to use FaceTime, no?  Can you send/receive FaceTime calls without signing in??  Note that the usual call list mingling was with non-FaceTime numbers...

Yes, you do.

Thanks!  I signed out and we'll see if that works...

With both of our phones disconnected from WiFi, I just had iPhone6White (which has "use your apple ID for FaceTime" turned off) call my main phone (iPhone6Black which does have FaceTime appleID turned On)

And FaceTime DOES work. So you do not have to sign in to send/receive FaceTime Calls.

Still no mingling on my phones btw.

I appreciate your ALL capital letters. It really helps. I have had a .Mac account since the day they started . I have purchased the family .Mac /.ME package and and assigned addresses to my family members.  Shared those with friends and family so people knew how to reach each of us. Then Apple got rid of the family plan and we lost the "aliases" for each family member, and since we all had media purchased using the main account, we moved to sharing the primary account across the famil. While I understand that Apple would like me to go the route of again creating user accounts for each of my family member, setting up the relationships and permissions to purchase on the new accounts through the primary account, and such, and to encourage me to do so, Apple has increasingly deployed "features" that "allow my content and session state to follow me across devices, never once asking me to opt into the "NEW" features. My family and I have tens of thousands of dollars invested in the content on this account.

I Would be happy to go through with RE-SPLITTING OUT my account users, if Apple had not yanked the same feature out one before. I would trust it would be worth the hours it will take do this, but I have been burned before. I hate having to waste my time doing things because features are added without any real Op In option.

Alas, I still have call list mingling...

My wife and I share an iTunes account, and why wouldn't we? We are one household. Account sharing was designed for this purpose. We too recently started seeing merged recent call lists. I have done all of the suggested changes. Turning off iCloud Drive seems to have stopped it. I later turned iCloud Drive back on and the problem has not returned.

For those insisting that this is "working as designed" and we "should not share an Apple ID" across our own devices, please stop. Apple would have advertised and documented this "feature" if this were part of the intended design. Apple is very thorough in this regard. For a long time Apple has extolled the advantages of sharing an Apple ID across devices. Saying we should NOT be sharing an Apple ID goes blatantly in the face of what Apple tells us we should be doing and why this is such a useful capability.

No, that's what Family Sharing was designed for. You each have your own Apple ID but can share content.
