Q: My recent calls appearing on another iPhone!?

If Calls on Other Devices and iCloud Drive have always been off on both devices, then this is very perplexing and goes against the workarounds stated earlier in the thread.  I presume you've tried signing out of iCloud on both devices and signing back in, and ensuring these settings remain off?

I will try signing out and back in, but currently I turned the older phone off from backing up anymore as I don't see the need for it.  I don't use it for pics or email anymore. Just as a phone line/voicemail.    Neither phone has ever had "iCloud drive" turned on ever.   Family sharing has never been turned on either. 

The tech was surprised this is happening and I was on hold several times while he was probably discussing it with others or looking up answers.

And hello on privacy/legal issues!

You created whatever privacy/legal issues by sharing an Apple ID with your husband. Apple IDs are PERSONAL. Information contained in an Apple ID is only accessible by the owner of that ID and anyone the password for the ID is shared with. If you have a different Apple ID there will be no data shared between you and your husband, except what you specifically authorize. And even that is limited to app/music purchases and calendars IF you enable Family Sharing AND authorize the sharing of those items.

Just to repeat - the fix given to me by Apple upper management was for iCLOUD DRIVE not iCloud!

I continue to have iCloud on for some apps, like notes and contacts. 

Since turning off iCLOUD DRIVE, I have not had any recent call logs from one phone to the other.

To those who have taken the time to answer the posters who continue to state that Apple IDs should not be shared - I just don't have the time or energy to deal with them anymore.  Eventually they will get tired and move on to other threads, where they can bother other people with their know-it-all attitude and patronizing statements. 

I have never even had iCloud drive turned on either of my phones and I have this issue.   There is no excuse for it,  I'm not sharing an ID.  I have TWO phones and I pay for a decent amount of cloud storage,  don't think I could share iCloud storage if I had two separate Apple IDs.

Dan, you say "I have TWO phones and I pay for a decent amount of cloud storage,  don't think I could share iCloud storage if I had two separate Apple IDs. "

But earlier you said:

I shouldn't have to just create a separate ID for these two phones when I've had the same ID and same setup for several years with zero issues between these phones.

Which seems to conflict with your most recent post, care to elaborate?  Not being critical, just trying to understand your situation.

I don't have separate iCloud accounts.  my last comment was about if I did create a separate ID for each phone, then my storage wouldn't be shared.   maybe it would.  I don't know that for sure.   I just don't see why a person can't have two phones and keep their recent calls separate.   it shouldn't be happening.

I've had two iPhones for several years without any of this happening.   Apple changed something and i'm sick of hearing the people on here saying don't share an ID.   These are both my phones,  I'm not sharing my ID with some other family member or friend.    Hope it gets fixed soon,  it's annoying to see all these missed call notifications on my 6, when the calls are going to the 5s.      I think turning the iCloud backup off all together on the 5s may have worked but will see what happens tomorrow.

It wouldn't otherwise I'd have access to your iCloud

I get that, and yes it must be frustrating.

Ignore that, those posts are in reference to people who are sharing an ID with others, which is not a good idea, ever.  The solution for them is to not do that. Your situation is different, and although related it really is a different issue than where this thread started.

Barneyman,

Allow me to help you and to reply to those don't have a clue trying to help you.

To avoid sharing your call logs with your wife and vice versa:

1- You don't have to create other apple IDs or iCloud accounts.

2- Doing so will make it painful for couples or families that use the new Photos software. My wife and I share same ID and we get to have all 120 Gigs of pictures in our cloud in a reciprocal way, meaning we both take pictures and we both have them in both our phones(all 24,000) and seamlessly all pictures also go to my photo library in my iMac. It would be idiotic to create an additional iCloud account and pay 2 monthly fees and have 2 separate photo libraries.

3- No, it has nothing to do with hand off feature.

4- No, it has nothing to do with continuity feature.

5- No, family sharing is not the solution. Having to manually share all "moments" in photos and the recipient having to import them also "manually" is simply a solution for the 70's. Yes, the recipient could leave them in the share folder, but... then they would never have them in their private library (providing the created their own private iCloud account)

6- And please people, you DONT HAVE to create new additional accounts. Come on! who needs for a family of 4, four accounts of 200 Gigs at $2.99 each.

The solution:

- Simply turn off iCloud Drive

settings-->iCloud-->iCloud Drive--> select Off

If you would like not to share contacts either, let me know

You are absolutely right.

Just turn iCloud Drive OFF

For those saying to create a separate ID, geez, so irritating.

You mean Apple?

It is not iCloud backup or iCloud which needs to be shut off.  It is iCloud DRIVE.  That's all.

You can share contacts via iCloud by toggling the contacts switch on.  The only downside to the call log problem is that you need to switch off iCloud drive.  Apple told me they would be working on a fix so that we could keep the Drive on and just toggle the call logs on or off.  They have not given me any idea when this would happen.

My solution that seems to have worked for me for the issue:

BOTH phones...

Settings > Facetime

In the middle, log out of your apple ID (you can still get people to face time you by having your phone number checked).

That's it.

If it doesn't work, try logging in and then logging back out, and be sure to do so on both of your phones.
