iPhone X/8/7 users including
iPhone 6/5 are seeing missed call on the screens and when they call back the
other users says he never called the number. This is really annoying bug in iOS
10/ iOS11/ iOS 12 that wrong and misleading calls are shown on the iPhone and
seems like there should be a way to stop sharing call logs between two iPhone. Further it seems like the call are showing up
on the one other iPhone with same apple id. And all the recent calls are
appearing on another iphone.
The missed call seems to
be from a number which is not even saved in the iPhone contact list. The issue
is more prominent if you are using same Apple ID across different iPhones/iPads.
In such cases you will not get any ringing call on any of the phone but will
all of sudden get a missed call pop up. Eg iPhone 1 and iPhone 2 uses same
apple id When iPhone 1 gets a call the phone doesn't ring but when iphone1
misses that call on the iPhone 2 shows a missed call icon on the phone app and
when you go to the phone app its pretty clearly someone who wasn't calling my
phone. The missed clearly does not belong
to iPhone it is displayed with. Looks like question now becomes - how do i stop
sharing call history between two iphones.
How to fix iPhone showing wrong/unknown/misleading missed calls:
The issue happens when
you are using same Apple iD across different iPhone models. To stop wrong reporting
of missed call on iphone you can try below methods:
Fix 1.Turn
off Handoff button under Settings->General->Handoff & Suggested Apps
Fix 2.Turn off
Wi-fi calling under Setting->iPhone->Wi-Fi Calling to OFF
Fix 3.Turn
off Calls on Other Devices under Settings->Phone->Calls of Other Devices->OFF
Fix 4.Ensure
all numbers and emails addresses under Settings->Messages->Send &
Receive only show your number and primary email and not the ones on the shared
Apple ID.
Fix 5.Turn
off "use iCloud" under Settings->Messages-> Send & Receive->
it should show "Use your Apple ID for iMessage" after turning it off.
Fix 6.Turn
off "use iCloud" under Settings->Facetime-> Send & Receive->
it should show "Use your Apple ID for Facetime" after turning it off.
Fix 7.Turn
off iCloud Drive under Settings->iCloud->iCloud Drive-> OFF
Also it is recommended to
use different Apple id on different Apple devices, if possible to avoid such
issues.
I hope this has helped
you to fix the issue when missed calls are shown on different iPhones.
