When I receive calls the missed calls show on my wife's iphone. We both use Iphone 5S's and we use the same apple ID for icloud and purchases. But of course the numbers are different. Also the phones are on 2 different phone accounts.
Why are these two phones sharing the call log?
Thanks in advance.
Go into Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>OFF. You will want to do it on both devices. You can share an Apple ID for purchases, but as KiltedTim points out, t can be difficult sharing the iCloud ID. It takes a lot of maintenance to do that with multiple devices.
THIS!^
Steve Jobs would have punched the guy who implemented this idea into his brain child "MobileMe" aka iCloud
You have no idea what Steve would have done,
Clearly you don't know
I cannot find this setting. Is it on your phone? If so, what iOS version are you using?
Accounts are free, so paying for them is not difficult.
Do as you wish, you can use the system anyway you like, the consequences will be yours to deal with.
Things change, either use it as Apple intended, or don't. It is up to you.
Yes. That`s right! I forgot...
I probably need another DONGLE to keep using my icloud as it was intended! 🙂
No extra dongles (no dongles at all) needed to use it as it was intended
Apple is under no obligation to make it work for you, easily or otherwise, if you refuse to follow simple instructions.
Correction - New calls are NOT being listed.

I have 3 phones that are linked to same Apple ID
That is the root of your problem. Apple IDs are personal. They are not intended to be shared. If you share them all sorts of things will go wrong. You will all be able to see all of each other's texts, for example. And phone calls. And Facetime.
You can try what I suggested above, which may help with the calls, but not with other issues. You should each have a separate iCloud ID, and link them with Family Sharing to share music, apps, calendars (if you want to). Family Sharing - Apple Support

A 'new' feature it seems, is really annoying the **** out of me- and I can not turn it off.
New? It's been a feature for 3 years. There are a couple of things you can try:
Other users have reported success with these settings; I have no direct experience.
I went in and turned off (allow calls on other devices, when near) I had the same issues on my (6SPlus) and my new 7 Plus, The calls kept showing up on my husbands phone, which is my old 6 SPlus. Settings/phone/other devices. Hope this helps lorri
You obviously are young in the Apple universe. If you don't know what "iTools ... free for life" means, then you have no clue what we family leaders have been managing for 10 years. Thanks for your help but the problem described by so many still lingers with many of us in our family units. I have Family Share turned on, three (now) young adults running their own iCloud IDs, and a wife sharing mine. I still get cross-talk from all of them. The solution is out there but not simply iCloud for each human with an iDevice/iCloud account because, as also stated before, Family Share is not the solution we have with 5 aliases of yesteryear (when managing the existence in Appleworld was simple, dare I say, "It Just Worked."
why are my missed calls showing on another iphone
