why are my missed calls showing on another iphone

The suggestion to turn off handoff didn't work, but reminded me of the problems that I had when setting up handoff between my iphone/macbook air and the solution to that. So I had one more thing to try: check your icloud setup and see if you are using your legacy @me.com account on one of the devices instead of your new @icloud.com account. If you are, then sign out (settings, icloud, scroll all the way to the bottom to sign out. You will have to give your icloud password to log out of find my iphone.) Test to see if that worked. Then sign back in with your @icloud.com account. This solved the problem for me. For tonight, anyway...

Absolutely not true. As I type this, my wife and I are 1000 miles apart and we are both getting each other's call logs on the other's phone.

I Have ALL the same problem plus one more; now someone calls someone in my group, random people outside my group show it on their phone as a missed call. I've started getting calls from random people telling me they missed a call from me. Wonder if they're getting my texts too. This seems to be a security or privacy issue Apple needs to address.

Hey guys I think I may have the answer to stop sharing call logs between devices on the same Apple id.

Go to settings then to Mobile and scroll down till you see a list of toggle switches.

When you find the one that says phone switch it off on all iPhones that belong to the same id.

i did this a couple of days ago between mine and my wife's phone so far so good.

I've been experiencing this issue with my 3 phones.. All are MINE but are suited for different purposes (work, personal, and general family usage.. i.e. give it to the kid when he goes out, or have visiting family temporarily use). And now all of a sudden when a call is missed it's showing across my multiple phones. I really don't want to mistakenly call someone from my personal cell phone, to someone who called my work number.

So now it is expected that I take the step of creating individual accounts for individual phones? How about they just don't show a "Missed call" message on a phone number that WASN'T CALLED? Account ID be ******? Or is that making it too hard?! Very annoying.

Apple allows 10 devises on an iCloud account and up until recently that has worked very well. Thank you

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.

Ok then great.. as I've been using it as "intended" since all phones are mine. So with that out the way what is your method to disable this behavior where a Missed Call shows up on a phone number that wasn't dialed? You still haven't articulated it. Or is it your point that there is none?

I am also having this problem since 3 weeks ago. My missed calls/call logs are showing up on my younger son's phone and vise versa, but not on my wife's and older son's phone. What I've found is only my phone and my younger son's phone are recently updated to ios 9.1, other two phones are still at ios 6 and ios 7 which don't have this issue at all. So i think Apple needs to come out something to to fix it! I have been using iphones since the 1st day it comes out! Never had any problem like this before even we are on the same Apple ID. For now, just about miss calls/call logs issues, how is about if your private messages are shown on other unexpected devices?...really annoying!

What i have done/changed on my phone's setting are:

-Restore iPhone in DFU mode, completely fresh installed: No help

-In iCloud, turn off everything, except Find My iphone ON, Share my Location OFF: No help

-Setting->Phone->Calls on Other Devices OFF: No help

-iMessage OFF, FaceTime OFF: No Help

-Setting->General->Handoff & Suggested Apps OFF: No help

-Sign Out iCloud/iTunes & App Store completely? No try yet, what a point? If so, rather go for Android!

My conclusion, I feel regret after upgrading it to ios 9.1

Thanks,

iOS 6 & 7 did not have Continuity. It was added in iOS 8. Once that feature became available it is essential that different users have different iCloud accounts. That's why Apple created Family Sharing at the same time iOS 8 was released, so different users can have different iCloud accounts but still share apps and calendars.

If you have different users sharing an iCloud account there will be continuing problems such as you describe. There is nothing for Apple to fix; Apple already fixed it by creating Family Sharing. You need to use the tools that Apple has provided.

See: Family Sharing - Apple Support

But they're not different people.. it's just me. And I have 3 phones.

So this is my understanding.. if I don't want to have "Missed Calls" show up simultaneously on my business phone, personal phone, and family loaner phone, then I'm going to have to take the extra step of creating 2 new separate icloud accounts for each phone individually, as that function of can not simply be disabled. Got it. I have to get cracking creating 2 new personal accounts with passwords and email!

Pretty crazy that something so straightforward - "missed call" only showing on the phone that got dialed - would be complicated this much. Thanks Apple.

Send your opinion to Apple.

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.

Hello,

Where is this listed on the iphone 6?

Hi there I did this a few days ago cleared all the call logs and so far so good.

This worked on a iphone running iOS 9.1, go to settings and then to mobile.

When you are in mobile keep scrolling down till you come across multiple of toggle switches.

You will have all these options to stop apps and parts of your iPhone from using mobile data.

Llook very carefully for the switch that says Phone and switch it off, do this to all devices on the same

Apple Id and this Gould resolve the issue of phones automatically sharing call logs. Cheers

Thanks for sharing. Let's try it!

By the way, took me 5 mins to figure it out for what you said. iPhone don't use the word Mobile, but Cellular! Thanks!

Settings->Cellular->(Use cellular data for: Phone)->OFF

If this method is not working, then I will have to create 4 separate iCloud accounts for each device per Lawrence Finch mentioned.

Thanks for your advise.

Actually, which they use depends on where in the world you are.

I did that and will test it out. Thank you!
