Q: How do I stop sharing call history between two iPhones (one mac)

I have exactly the same issue.  My wife and I share an apple ID and now share the call history since we upgraded to iOS 9.01.  Our kids share a different Apple ID and also have the same problem between them.  This never existed before iOS 9.  Setting up another Apple ID would be a nightmare to manage since my wife and I share everything except contacts and calendars (which I get from my work server).

There doesn't seem to be any fix, yet.  VERY frustrating.

Found this in another thread. Fixed it for me:

Settings -> General -> Handoff. Turn this feature off on both handsets.

Hi

Stop sharing the same Apple ID since ios 8.00 data is sent to all Apple devices

with the same Apple ID when near your home WiFi

Change one ID .

They just came out with iOS 9.0.2 this morning and this DOES fix it.  No need to create yet ANOTHER apple ID or even turn off the handoff feature (which will disable that capability on my watch).  Thanks for helping, you guys.

Not "yet another" Apple ID, but just one ID for each user. If you're sharing an Apple ID, instead of using Family Sharing, you're "doing it wrong" and will continue to run into issues.

When apple lets you share your icloud storage space among family members I'll be happy to set up family ID's. Until then I refuse to pay an extra $10/mo when I have plenty of free space to backup our phones under one icloud account.

Hmm.. I guess it's a dollar now.. still it's the principal here!

You don't need to pay for anything additional. Keep your files on the main account, set up the others as free 5GB accounts, and share the files from the main account with others via Family Sharing.

That's not a "solution." That's a clumsy workaround that deprives you of all iCloud Drive functionality.

But hey, it's your life, your devices.

Apple do not have my or my partner's legal consent to share our call history, it's not detailed in any of the agreements I keep being asked to agree with when I update, and they may therefore be in breach of UK or European law. Class action anyone?

Just give us the option to not share between devices, its not a big ask. C'mon apple, please?

Stop using the same Apple ID as your partner. It's that simple. Each person should have their own individual Apple ID.

You sharing your Apple ID with someone else, you are in violation of the Terms of Use for iCloud services. Go ahead. Try and sue them. You will lose.

For us, 9.0.2 does NOT fix the issue with shared calling histories between different iPhones.  We both have iPhone 6s's on iOS 9.0.2.  I tried shutting off WiFi phone calls, disabling Handoff on her phone (I need it on my phone) as well as ensuring her phone and devices aren't selected for "Allow Calls on other devices".

What worked for me was to disable iCloud Drive on my wife's iPhone 6s -- as suggested above (thanks, ifat) thankfully she doesn't use any iCloud drive features.  I know this isn't optimal but it works for our situation to preserve the features we need.

I realize people will say use different Apple ID's but the primary reason we are sharing Apple IDs is to share the iCloud photo library: that way pictures we both take end up in the same library.  We both then have access to our 325 GB library with over 15 years of photos, a huge benefit of a cloud shared photo library.  For us, Family Sharing isn't really about sharing purchases.

If Apple would allow Family sharing to also share the iCloud Photo Library that would solve this issue.  Ideally, Apple would allow authorized family members to access the shared photo library (configurable per device as I don't want all my little kid's photos from their devices).  It would also require sharing the full storage plan of the primary account holder (otherwise sharing a huge library doesn't work), and this could be used to allow iCloud device backups all to the same storage plan.

Until then, I hope Apple realizes many people share the Apple ID for the photos and re-enable the sequestering of the call history to each device.  It would make sense for call history to be sync'd among devices selected in the "Allow Calls on other devices" preference.

All here in this thread are writing "Don't share a Apple-ID" and reprimand the users who do this ...

I have two phones by my own (one is my company iPhone, the other one is my private one).

Would like to share all my data except the call history on this two phones!

So - is this not a "used case" which makes sense???
