My phone showing calls from another phone on my account.

When I first started using iPhone (v1) Apple support told me to share my Apple ID when I asked how to create a family calendar. I've been using it that way ever since (8+ years). The fact Apple enhanced the OS and added family sharing doesn't change that many of us use it that way. Turning off 'hand off', creating new Ida, etc may 'fix' the problem, but it creates a lot of work and change for me. I want it to work the way it has for years. Apple, please fix this bug (it is not a desired feature). Include essential functionality up front and you can avoid these problems.

Thank you for the tip. I chatted with Apple support and they provided me the iCloud online forum to suggest enhancements to iCloud. With one apple id I've been sharing calendar, notes, contacts, find my iphone, and reminders across the family, and family sharing doesn't support all of these functions. The enhancement in iOS 8.3 to sync calls and call logs across devices was made without considering the negative impact to all of us using one apple id all these years for shared calendars, etc (at their suggestion, btw). So now the customer must compromise, and either lose native sharing functionality that we've enjoyed for years, or lose the ability to see that we've missed a call on our device (which is a phone feature, not an iCloud feature until very recently). I'm going to request that they include all the iCloud functions in family sharing so that we can get the native sharing the device has supported since inception (apparently unintended and unplanned).

I totally agree. You can also add that it was possible to share the Photos library using a single ID. So to continue enjoying the whole photo library on several iPhones, I have to share the call history with my wife. Note that it could be useful :-) But anyway, it gives the feeling that Apple has forgot to think about all the consequence of this change.

TThis was my case too. My hand off was off, my phone settings my sharing was off, so couldn't understand why the phone calls still showed up till you mention checking settings in face time. There it was a check by the other email account. Who would have thought to look there. Thanks. I hope other folks find this answer.

Great response. Our family has also been sharing our id and recently the phone call issue started up again. If we didnt, we'd be spending a small fortune on itunes and the app store purchases for all the multiple items we would have to buy. And dont tell me family sharing solves that. I've read all the reviews of the family sharing plan and it doesnt solve the problem. We have purchased thousands of dollars of music and apps over the years.

I Love the way you pointed out how rediculous his response to the find my iphone issue was. Lol.

So Has anyone figured out how to solve the call log issue on multiple devices yet? Something changed in the icloud settings w the latest update it seems again.

Still isn't fixed, though. This drives me crazy, I've got seperate iPhones for work and personal use, so I'm not "sharing" my Apple ID. Missed calls "sync" between the phones so there is NO WAY of knowing to which phone number people have called. It's maddening! This HAS to be a bug, by no way can Apple INTEND that you cannot tell to which phone number a call came 😟

If their intention really is that missed calls information is synced between devices, it must be clearly visible in the call history to and from which numbers the calls were made.

Just to follow up on this.

I bought a new phone and upgraded to IOS 10 on my secondary shared one and sharing numbers started happening again and I found that that the update reset the 'Automatically Backup to Icloud' option again.

As soon as I turned it off the issue went away again. Worth noting if you find it comes back again 🙂

Have a great day everyone 🙂

It's not the Handoff (mine is off). It's not the Automatic Backup (mine is again off). It's not the My Info (They somehow sync to the same entry no matter where I point it to).

I think it's iCloud that's doing this "issue" because my 2 iPhones are signed in using the same Apple ID. My Contacts are synced w/ iClouds' Contacts (same w/ my laptop). If I create 2 Apple IDs then the Contacts wouldn't be synced together.

I have 2 phones because each one is on a different network. Mixing them up makes me pay EXTRA for calling the other networks.

I turned on Wi-Fi calling on both phones and seems to work (settings>phone>Wi-Fi calls). This is the message I got when I turned it on. I hope that's a lasting solution.

Stop sharing an iCloud account with multiple users.

If you have it set up so that you can use Find my iPhone from a single Apple ID to locate any of them then you ARE sharing an iCloud account. Don't do that.

This is all about iCloud, you must have it set up so you share everything with the people on your plan. Change your settings to stop that.

That's because people like you Refuse to accept reality. If you don't want the information replicated across devices, then stop sharing an iCloud account.
