why are my missed calls showing on another iphone

Every time there is an upgrade we need to search out what setting we need to fix this problem. For those of you that don't share Apple IDs please refrain from responding that we shouldn't. Your wrong and it it has always worked well to share everything from contacts to documents. We just need Apple to recognizant and address the issue with the settings we need.

There are changes with every upgrade because you are using it in an unsupported configuration. You already know what to do to address this, but in line with your requests I shall refrain from telling you again

I am new to this chain and experiencing the same problem with my family. Having tried everything offered to no avail, I am willing to concede your tough love offered to the community here. One issue I have, is that my family is lives by 'find my iphone'. My wife and I both work over several counties and our kids drive ('nough said). We all like being able to use one app to know where everyone is. Do you know if we stop using the same apple id for icloud, will that all end? Is there a work around? Our family is very open, and the missed call issue is more of an annoyance than a real problem, so we will likely live with it instead of losing the tracking benefit...

That's what Find my Friends was designed for. If you're afraid that your kids are going to turn it off so you can't track them, you need to reexamine your parenting style and the privileges you allow them.

I have the same problem and have had one icloud account since the very beginning (mobile me)

We have 4 iphones, ipads, apple tvs, etc...

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

I have purchased icloud storage so I can store backup, share photos, images, etc. among all devices.

This is what icloud was intended for!

Stop telling people that we need to setup different accounts, use find my friends... I am not looking for my friends! These are family devices!

I am not sharing phone calls! That's it! I don't want to see missed calls on all phones.

Lawrence, thanks for the reply.

It seems a little more complicated with family sharing but I could try.

I am quite happy with everything except the phone logs. This is the only complain I have.

How would the icloud backups work? I pay extra for storage as every backup is over the free 5GB.

Now all backups are under one account. Please don't tell me I need to buy extra storage for each account 🙂

To add to this complexity... I have a separate itunes account for apps and purchases... If any of you remember from the beginning...

Thanks Lawrence.

So now I actually have to pay for 4 x the icloud extra storage instead of 1.

And I have to manually check and maintain each of the 4 accounts.

This is what I was trying to avoid. Life is very busy.

Anyway sounds like is too complicated and more expensive for one simple thing I am asking.

I don't need the phone logs accross all phones. Everything else works perfect!

Here we go again... here is another smart one...

I wasn't talking about the accounts... I know they are free...

Extra icloud storage is not free if you need more than 5Gb for each account.

So I need more extra storage on 4 accounts so I need to pay 4 times now!

I have been using it since 2007-2008 (That is like 8-9 years) and has been working perfectly!

Until recently...

And another important fact is that in-app purchases do not work or transfer with family shared ids or accounts!

That`s a lot of extra costs I have to pay for now! So in reality is not as simple as it sounds.

Sir,

That may be true, but this feature has only been annoying me and other users since the last update. Perhaps they should auto_off these features and let us choose to turn them on. Rather than enabling them with the update.

I for one would never have turned it on and don't want the phone I bought for my parents showing me their missed calls and vice versa.

_ yet if they did auto off, how would they possibly let us all know about this fantastically annoying feature!! Its pure genius.

Hey Mr. Condescending,

I have not had this issue for the last two years. I am telling you as a fact, this only started for me after the last update on my phone. By looking at date stamps on other posts while google searching for an answer, I am not the only one that this is a recent issue for.

The only reason I came to the forum was because of this issue. If it had started two years ago I would have visited two years ago. Also, I would like to point out that a fix for the issue was not posted until I put it here.

As for Apples advice_ it needs work. When I bestow them with the privilege of my product purchase, they should go out of their way to not make things annoying for me the user.

I am sure in an idea world apple would love everyone to have their own traceable account. Well, I am not going to force my parents to sign up for a separate apple account then add family sharing._ The simplest fix and the most courteous is for Apple to not auto-on features.

Good day sir.

The fact that you have not had this issue before in no way changes the fact that others have, you got lucky for a while, now you are not. If you continue to use it improperly you can expect further problems.

No instructions were given, no notification of any kind that the features I had off were going to be turned on. It did not ask me to swipe yes or no for any of the features that were going to be enabled.

There is no "lucky" about it... one day the feature was "off.' the next day this obscure feature was reactivated after the apple IOS update.

This is an inconvenience. There is no way to justify it, and your attempt to suggest I am not using my phone properly is absurd and condescending.

When I program an app for the phone, do you think I build in auto features to turn things on forcing an opt in situation.. no... Settings are off, until the user enables them.

I know what they did and I am learning to code apps for this device and other models...You and I may disagree on why they did it, but that does not change anything relevant.

there was an issue, I posted a corrective action. You and the others are simply attempting to berate me and any other users who before this past update, were unaware of this particularly annoying feature.

No one is berating you. They are simply re-iterating that what you want is not possible at this time. No one here can change that. Nor can we change what you want. Submit your feedback to Apple.
