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

My husband and I both have iOS 9.01.

Now I notice that if I have a missed / answer call it shows up on his notice screen and all my calls show up in his recent call history .

Both phones don't ring and they don't need to be near each other or connected by Wi-Fi. We do share an Icloud account a few good years...

We have mac too with yosimta systam.. ( its possible that the mac make this bug? i thing/not for sure its beign when i conncted the mac to our icloud)

the option calls on other devices is off...

So How do I stop sharing call history between the two phones? with the same icloud!(i dont want another apple id)

(the icloud work fine until ios 9)

TnXXX!!!

anyway, tried to edit my post, but it wouldn't let me, so here's the update.

The way Genius bar guy told me didn't work (uncheck e-mail on Facetime. that just didn't make any sense anyway).

what seemed to work is this- found on this site:

http://www.iphonetopics.com/stop-sharing-call-history-iphone/

Solution 2: Turn off option calls on other devices (for old iOS users)

Go to Settings > Phone -> Calls on other devices
Turn on ‘allow calls on other devices’. This will list all the devices signed into your iCloud account
Turn off all those devices
Turn off ‘allow calls on other devices’

By doing this even if you are sharing the same Apple ID across family members, the call details will not show on another iPhone.

After calling my primary phone, the history has not appeared on the 2nd phone 15min later.. keeping my fingers crossed...

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.

You can via Family Sharing.

This is because you are sharing the same apple ID on both iphones

They are not made for sharing .

Change one apple ID .

Here's my update.....shutting off iclouddrive and clearing call history on both phones worked!!!!

Do not share apple ID they are for one person only

All Apple devices on same apple ID will get all the same information / Emails .

Thank you shaulm ... this is exactly what it looks like. I don't need and i don't want my call history be stored in iCloud. But it seems as if i can't switch it off :-(

Turning iCloud Drive off on one of the phones involved "cured" it for me. It really should be a separate setting.

Bless you! I've been bothered by this ever since upgrading to iOS9.

Thank you for offering this. It worked.

Never mind shutting of Facetime does not prevent the calls from my business phone to show in the call history of my personal phone.. DARN

Get another ID, currently your phones are the same.

No. It's not a bug. You should use the same ID on all of your devices.
