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

Tried this and did not work either. Same outcome as Aladdin-It had above.

This could easily be fixed by Apple providing an option in settings to "not sync recents" across devices, or "do not merge" or something similar. No different to switching off iCloud Drive across devices. Just enables it on one device not the 2.

But Apple seems to not want this???

Why provide the iCloud Drive option to switch off then?

Come on Apple, please provide the option for owners of multiple phones to switch the merging of recent phone calls. Not too hard is it? Certainly not for Apple the all concurring tech giant.

I too have two phones for myself - one business and one personal. The last "Genious bar" info was helpful in regards to turning off facetime on iphones in order to not get call history for both phones on both phones. I couldn't "turn on allow calls on other phones" after having turned off FaceTime which I have never used and never plan to use so didn't occur to me to look at FaceTime settings. Good grief! I think I am not now seeing same call history on both phones. That automatic possibility is a horrible bother since businesses get SO MANY garbage calls, many from robo callers, and we have to spend hours figuring out which callers to block. If one answers each potential robo call there would be NO time to provide customer service at my business where whoever is on duty prepares for and serves customers and answers phone -- no robo call secretary on duty. In trying to solve this problem I also just discovered that both my phone now have the same greeting though phone have separate phone numbers and separate purposes. HELP again!

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 .

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.

This did the trick without sacrificing any functionality. Thanks for the tip!

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.

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???

We agree, well thought out solution. This is why we have the same account too. Plus we have been Apple users for so long (owned the original Mac back in the day....30 years ago almost!). Apple did not give everyone different accounts, so we HAD to have the same account back then. Now, they are not taking that into account and making adjustments. It doesn't seem like it would be that big of a deal to share the photos.

You can via Family Sharing.

Yes, photos are shareable via Family sharing but you have to manually select then share the photos to the shared album. Our goal in our family is to automatically pool all photos taken to the same photo library. Manually sharing photos invariably is forgotten, and is inconvenient especially when there are automated options.

We all know sharing apple IDs isn't optimal, and yes, this is a band aid and not the intended use, but this seems the only way to achieve what I think is a reasonable and common use case and a desirable feature.

Same thing here Steve. But of course people will continue to say "don't use the same apple ID... yada yada yada". Apparently they don't understand that family share is severely lacking in that sense and is NOT a solution. Pretty sad implementation if you ask me. It seems family share is only meant really to share content purchases.
