why are my missed calls showing on another iphone

Don't share an Apple ID for iCloud. They are not intended to be shared.

To fix this issue go to Settings - General - Handoff. Turn this feature off on both handsets. You will no longer share call logs :-)

"Mixing up" of information is an intended consequence of sharing the ID for the account with someone who is not you

As I have said before I have 10 devises on my iCloud account. Everything has always worked well until recently.

Correct. Times change. Prior to 8.2 there were no services designed to share between different devices on the same account, except for contacts, calendars and notes, plus data and backup space. A whole raft of features were added in 8.3 and 8.4, including Continuity and Photo sharing. These have changed the meaning of sharing on an iCloud account. Apple knew this, so they also introduced Family Sharing, so you wouldn't have to share an Apple ID across different people to share music and apps. Because of these new features, you need to change the way you think and work. If you aren't willing to do that you will have issues.

The issue is that A) He and his wife are using the same Apple ID (nothing at all wrong with that)

What's wrong with that depends on what your relationship is like:

• The contact list is shared, so anyone sharing the account sees all of the other's contacts
• All messages (SMS, MMS, iMessage) can be seen by everyone sharing the account
• Notes are shared, so there's no such thing as a private note
• Reminders are visible to everyone on the account, such as each person's gift list for others
• All documents created with the Productivity apps are visible to everyone sharing the account
• All Safari bookmarks and history are shared, including those links to ashleymadison.com and other sites that most users keep private
• All email messages are shared
• iCloud backups are shared, so one person can restore another's iCloud backup to their device and have the complete contents of the backed up phone.
• If you use Keychain to save passwords, these are shared
• If children are sharing the account you can read their texts. But they can read yours, also. And all of the above
• Phone call history is shared

So if it's OK to share all but the last, I don't see what the issue is with phone call history. Everything else in your life is public to all of the sharing devices, so why not phone calls? You clearly have a very close relationship, with no secrets from each other.

Do you really want me to believe that I need to setup a different icloud account for every device or every user???

Every user should have their own ID, not every device (users may own more than one)

This is how it has always been, regardless of what you believe.

Looks like Apple added a feature called "Handoff" Turning that to off should stop call history from syncing. Settings --> General --> Handoff.

I had to find this on another site.

Was driving me crazy for about a week.

Well, it's also in the manual, but, hey, who reads manuals, anyway. And its also in the Getting Started tutorial on the web site. It's also been mentioned several times in this thread. Handoff has been around for 2 years. It's a great feature; I can take a call on my computer, then switch to my phone. Or vice versa.

I tried turning iCloud Drive off yesterday and that appears to work ...so far.

The call logs prior to making the change are still there, but new calls are being listed.

Thank you for trying to help, but that "what's up" info you provided had nothing to do with this issue we are experiencing. You share a part of privacy and security, not issues with multiple devices. I know not so share my id with anyone else outside of those I trust that I don't want to have my information. In regards to the original issue, I was told by apple on phone and online conversation in the past that I could use same id's for iCloud so that I could see all devices on the same account...yes, this was before family sharing (acknowledged).

However, some good news for all. I can not say it is "Fixed", but I have not had the issue since resetting up all my devices from scratch for apple id stuff. This basically involved disconnecting all 7 devices from the apple id and giving them time in the back-end to be 'offline' (i.e.apple's servers). Then I set them up one by one with about 5 minutes between each one (this also fixed a separate issue around iCloud I was having). Hope they stay working this way forever!

Thanks

Yes, but that's intended for devices with the same owner/user. I have four devices using the same ID but I am one person. Any Apple ID sharing among different individuals is always a mistake and, while it will work on occasion, it will eventually cause problems.

However, do as you wish.

On each phone...

Contacts > Your Name with "me" in light text to the right.

My WAG is that both phone numbers are listed.

I'm kinda guessing here because, of my four devices, only one is a phone. My first suggestion is that you delete the "wrong" phone number. However, my gut feel is that it will repopulate. You may have to go to plan "B" - give yourself two names, perhaps one with a middle initial or one with "Joe" instead of "Joseph" or something comparable to that. Make sure that "me" is "Joe" on one phone and "Joseph" on the other phone.

Edit...

For an understanding of why this happened, read Lawrence's post.

Philly your comments are not big certainly not clever and certainly not constructive.

Family sharing is still not fit for purpose for what myself and users here have been using their shared apple id for for years.

Other family members cant access your icloud storage - you no longer automatically see photos that have been taken with another device and you sharing Apple music is unusable as its so buggy.

Ive tried family sharing and its simply no good.

The answer to this issue is to ensure handoff is turned off on all devices. Ipads included

YYour situation is a little different. The user I responded to had 4 different family members sharing 1 iCloud account. They should each have a separate ICloud ID. You have 2; the 2 phones you use and the family loaner. It should have a separate ID. Your 2 are really 2 personas, you personal and you business. Logically those should be separate IDs also, and many companies that issue company phones require that to be the case. But it isn't the end of the world if you shared an id between them if your company allows it. If you turn off "calls on other devices" on both phones then call list sharing should stop also, and some people report that that solves it. But not everyone; that may be a bug.

hold on, you have the option to turn off those options you listed except for the call history sharing. I am not able to see any texts on any other shared icloud device from my wife or kids nor are they able to see mine so I'm not sure all you listed there is correct. I was having this issue with only 1 out of 7 iPhones that are logged into the exact same Apple id and iCloud account . The only use we have for iCloud is the " find my iPhone" feature , every other option is selected to be off in iCloud on all devices.

It seems I've resolved the shared call history issue by removing all emails listed in the iCloud menu of each device (only the primary iCloud email is listed on each device) I also turned off cellular data for the phone app in all devices as I see no reason the phone app needs to use cellular data other than to unnecessarily sync call history (although I'm not shure if the phone app attempts to use wifi if cellular data is disabled) .

I also agree with those wishing for Apple to provide a proper solution for this as you should be able to toggle this sharing call history feature on and off. I see no reason for each of my children using "my" devices to have their own separate accounts and passwords not to mention my credit card information on each account . Having 1 Apple ID is more logical and convenient . familyshare defeats the purpose of simplicity and forces the owner of all devices (me) to set up separate accounts for each, this is a ridiculous expectation . Using one account does still work, iOS still allows multiple devices to be logged into the same user account so obviously at some point iOS was intended and still has capacity to do as such. They fixed something that wasn't broken! Many have stated the sharing phone log issue is usually only on one or a couple devices Thus it's only logical to reason that there are settings or bugs that can and should be repaired or adjusted to resolve. Instead Apple resorts to creating a whole other complex familyshare feature and advising everyone to comply rather than simply adding a toggle function.
