why are my missed calls showing on another iphone

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.

| We have 4 iphones and 3 are having this issue.


I just noticed that my wife's phone and my phone is doing the same thing.


I think comments saying to split the apple IDs are unhelpful, if 4 iphones are setup with the same ID, but only 3 are sharing call logs, then that's a strong case that there is some bug. Either they should all be sharing the calls and its a feature, or this sharing is behavior and none of them should be sharing recent call entries.

I have a similar issue. My 6 and my ipad mini sync the recent call logs even if I leave the ipad at home and make a call when off my wifi and out of my house. BUT my wife has an identical 6 and mini running the same 8.4 release as me and hers will not do this. We have tried to get it to work on hers, and it simply won't. Any ideas how to make this work? again, not wanting calls on one phone to show on the other, but calls to/from a phone to show on its associated ipad.


For the record I was still using an Ipad 2 at the end of May when this first popped up on my facetime logs. when I restored my backup to the new mini it has kept updating call logs almost instantly.


and no we do NOT share apple IDs between us, each have our own. I use my id on my phone and my ipad, she uses her id on her phone and ipad. Family share is on since both kids also have 2 apple devices each(and their own ids).

I just spoke to Apple Support to resolve this. They said that if I change it FROM sharing an iCloud account TO everyone using a separate iCloud account and utilizing Family Sharing, it should retain the features I want without getting the missed calls pinging around to everyone. About to test out...

What a surprise. That's exactly what I've stated repeatedly (see posts above).

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
