how do i stop mine and my husbands iphones from sharing a call log? His calls show up on my iphone and vise versa its giving me the *****! we use the sane itunes acct but icloud is turned off and i have turned just about everything else off!

How do I stop my iPhone 7 and my husbands iPhone 6 from sharing a call log?

His calls show up on my phone and mine show up on his! It's only happening with calls not messages! I have checked that only the correct numbers are ticked on the right iPhones and they are! iCloud isn't turned on, on either devices! I just can't see what else I need to turn off!

So, that is why you are getting the mixed logs. If you are signed into Messages and FaceTime with the same Apple/iCloud ID, then your call logs may be mixed.


You can both use the same Apple ID for iTunes, and sign into the iTunes & App Store with that same ID, but you should each be using your own unique ID for your FaceTime and Messages logins. Otherwise, the issue can occur.


Best of luck,

Again, there is no need to use Family Sharing if you use the same Apple ID for iTunes. You only need your own ID for Messages, FaceTime, and iCloud, if you are wanting to use that. Things change. This problem was not reported until a few years ago, and it does not seem to be anything that is going to be easily fixed. So, the easy fix is to create a unique ID for yourselves, and use that ID to sign into everything except iTunes. That way, you still all have access to the same media you have always had access to.

Thanks I guess we will just have to deal with it til I can be bother setting up all that crap! We have heaps of devices which is why I can't be bothered! I have a phone, hubby has a phone, daughter has a phone and iPad so with that many to set crap up for its too time consuming to deal with right now! I just spent all wknd fighting with iPhones to get them backed up and then restored from the back up all with an adsl internet connection that drops out every 5 seconds!
