why are my missed calls showing on another iphone

Hi

I have two iPhones. 1 is my work phone, 1 is my personal phone.

I have them both connected to my iCloud/Apple account for obvious reasons.

A 'new' feature it seems, is really annoying the **** out of me- and I can not turn it off.

The call history is synced across both phones !

So say I miss a call from my friend John on my personal phone but am busy at work so don't look at it. I see it on my work phone. Of course John isn't a stored contact on my work phone so it just comes up as a phone number. So I call back- "Hello this is xxx of xxx, I missed a call from this number an hour ago" ... then John goes "Yo man its me, John, you idiot- what you going on about?" and I look like an idiot!

Also another annoying thing, when I click for information about the missed call there is no way to see what iPhone it was missed from- my work or personal one !!

There HAS to be some way to stop this going on, without obviously disconnecting one of them from my iCloud account which would have disastrous consequences.

I have 3 phones that are linked to same Apple ID we don't use iCloud really like I haven't signed up and paid for more iCloud we just use the one it automatically comes with so we share iCloud the free one all 3 phones do is there a way of only using iCloud on my phone and my other 2 phones which are my daughters can they still use same Apple ID but not use iCloud??

How do you do that

So I woukd want iCloud just for me

But me and my 2 daughters share the same Apple ID how do I make it where we don't get each other's contacts and I get my daughters missed calls it doesn't actually ring on my phone but it shows up on my missed calls list if she doesn't answer a call

How do you do that??

I have 2 daughters 1 older and my youngest is 10

( my youngest only got one of our old phones purely to play Pokemon go as I wanted my phone not her wanting for that)

But so I don't want my youngest having her own Apple ID with my card details where she might purchase stuff

And as for iCloud I never knew the 2 were separate??

So u can have and share the same Apple ID but can u each have your own individual iCloud ??

Go to settings >phone > calls on other devices > turn off

So u can have and share the same Apple ID but can u each have your own individual iCloud ??

Sort of.

Check out Family Sharing. Shared purchases but private content.

Family Sharing - Apple Support

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

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.

You don't even need to do that if you don't want to. It's easy enough to use one ID for iCloud and a different ID for the app and itunes stores.

I Am also having this issue. I have a work iPhone and a personal iPhone. Both have always been on the same account and must remain so. I have tried everything suggested in all my searching. Funny thing is, we have 6 iPhones in our household. All on the same iCloud account but for some odd reason only my two phones are sharing a call history list? The settings on all 6 phones are identical and all are updated. the whole reason I have a personal iPhone is to escape work on the weekends so I really want to find a way to stop this. Thanks to all!

Same here on the same issue as you Builder1! I have 4 iphones, 2 ipads and my iMac all on the same apple id and until yesterday did not have this issue at all. I use find phone to see everyone all at the same time and share music and app purchases (has worked seamlessly for a long, long time). Now, not all, but some of our call logs are getting crossed on only 2 of the iphones...have checked all settings that have been mentioned and don't know why this is happening. I know that imessage and facetime specifically can be shared if on same account (ring/message multiple devices), but this is a call log...how the heck?!?!?

Anyways, please apple, let us know what's up?

The exact thing happened to us. My missed calls are showing up on my wife phone. Her phone does not ring but the missed calls are listed. They do not appear on our third iPhone. I noticed the date on your post as July 8, 2015. That is the same day it started to occur for us also.

FYI. changing the Facetime it off iphone cellular calls did not work. We have 4 iphones and 3 are having this issue. I have used the same Apple ID for 5+ years and this has never occurred. I want a solution and not spending time setting up everyone with a new apple id. HELP!

Do you have Handoff turned on in Settings?
