too much to read in here, but long story short STOP SHARING AN APPLE ID WITH SOMEONE WHO ISN'T YOURSELF DO THAT AND YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS!!

You would think that would make some sense... But it doesn't as there are people like me who do not share an ID with other people yet still have problems with call history. Maybe you should have read some of the posts

If you actually do have problem with sharing call logs with people who use other apple id, you should RE read all of the posts here - might help to figure out that you are alone and in the wrong place. In that case recommend to change password ASAP and if that does not help start your own thread.

I have read every post thanks. If you had also read every post you would realise that my problem isn't sharing call logs with other people. It's my work and personal phone sharing call logs, an issue that a number of other people on this thread have.

Not wanting to read through this whole thread again, just wanted to make sure that you have seen the link to send your feedback to Apple: Apple - Feedback

There are enough people who don't like this behavior that I think sending feedback would be useful.

Cheers,

Thanks - I saw one of your posts earlier and took your advice

I will also make sure to send my feedback, that I love that feature, ability to react to phone calls that my wife missed when she is at work and the once that I missed when I am at work. Thank you Apple for providing us with that feature.(bug). I love you Apple. I will feedback you Apple.

If god(shuu) tells you to stop using same apple id you got to listen, don't you believe?

At the risk of being premature, I think I may have found a possible solution to this problem.

First, as John_Travel rightly pointed out, there are likely millions of users affected by this bug--users who previously, and for good reason, share an Apple ID. It's good to know that there are knowledgable people such as John to shed light on the problem and try to be helpful.

My situation: one family--two adults and two young children--with four iPhones and one iPad among us. We've shared a single Apple ID without issue for many years. Prior to around May 2015, we had no issues. Then, we started having recent calls being unintentionally shared between the two main phones--mine and my wife's. We tried a number of approaches, turning off every setting possible, and nothing worked…until now.

John_Travel's suggestions got me looking again at iCloud settings on the various devices. First, I tried turning off iCloud Drive on each of the two phones. After several attempts at different settings, followed by restarts, etc., the problem did not go away. Then, I finally noticed that one device--the iPad--had all possible numbers and emails selected under Settings, Messages, Send & Receive, including both my wife's _and_ my phone numbers. (I think this association may be key.) Since its primarily my wife's device, I removed all others, leaving her phone number and email. Since performing this change, I'm happy to report that neither of us are getting each other's recent calls anymore. It's only been a few days now but we have made and received several calls from each phone and the recent calls are no longer being shared between the two. I will, of course, update this thread if anything changes in the days ahead. However, for now, it's smooth sailing

Good luck to anyone else experiencing this issue and seeking to restore normalcy to their setups! :thumbsup:

My husband and I have had the same problem (receiving each other's phone calls). We are each using an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.2.1. A few comments/ideas:

1) it is JUST FINE to share iCloud accounts for various purposes. We have shared iCloud accounts for 5 years. This problem just started happening a few months ago.

2) go to SETTINGS→FACETIME and look at what numbers or email addresses are checked "✓". UNCHECK the ones you don't want calls from.

3) go to SETTINGS→PHONE→CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES. Turn OFF "Allow Calls on Other Devices", OR select the devices you are ok to "Allow Calls On".

This seems to have solved our problems.

Thanks

1. It is not OK to share an ID, who told you it is?

It worked for me exactly as you described. Thank you.

I just recently started having this same problem with ios update 9. Apple support says that with this new update, every device using the same apple ID will show all the calls made from every device using the same apple ID. I've been doing this for years with my four iPhones because of the find my iPhone app so I can locate my kids. This problem only started with ios 9 update. Apple support told me there is no fix for this problem. Apple tech suggested I complain via their feedback website because they have received so many complaints and calls about this issue. Take the time to send a negative feedback for this issue so they will fix it. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Use separate Apple IDs for each family member, then set up Family Sharing.  That lets you use Find my iPhone to locate them, and does not cause iCloud confusion like you're seeing.

I've posted this solution last year, and it works still for me.  Yes, we are Evil iCloud account sharers (mainly to ensure all photos are shared to the same icloud photo library automatically without having to manually post to a shared family account).

If you shut off iCloud drive on one of the phones, the call logs won't share.  Tested again on iOS 9.3 today, on 2 iPhone 6s's.

Yes, it ***** that one feature of iCloud isn't available to 1 user, but thankfully my wife doesn't use icloud drive at all.

As rockmyplimsoul says...
