Greetings! When you have several iPhones in your family, then you are a very wealthy person, many people prefer to use one Apple ID account for all of these devices. So what? At first glance, everything is really very convenient! For example, a game (program) was downloaded on one gadget, and it instantly became available on another device. Plus, there is no need to memorize the data of several accounts at once. It would seem that happiness has come. Live and rejoice!

However, it's not for nothing that Apple recommends creating a unique Apple ID account for each iPhone. After all, there are also enough problems with the simultaneous use of accounting (by different people on different iPhones). For example, iCloud backups. And if an Apple ID is stolen, all gadgets on which this identifier is activated will be "under attack" at once.

There is another problem that is associated with the use of one Apple ID on multiple iPhones - the synchronization of call and call logs. We will talk about this today.

Brief description of the situation. When making a call from one iPhone, the data instantly appears on the other. The same situation is with missed and incoming calls. They called you, you did not pick up the phone, and a notification about this is immediately displayed on all other iPhones with your account. It turns out that the call history and call log will be common for all iPhones on which your Apple ID is entered.

Comfortable? Of course. But this call log sync is only good when all these iPhones belong to you. Otherwise, questions are possible - we are all curious and suspicious people :) But okay, now it's not about that, but about how to get rid of it.

Use different Apple IDs

The most correct and correct decision. We create our own, unique account for each gadget and the problem will disappear by itself. Yes, this will take some time, and it is not always convenient for various reasons, but later on there will be some advantages.

In addition to the fact that the synchronization of calls on the phone will stop (which is already good!), You can use the iCloud account for each iPhone separately (and this is an extra space for backup), and in the future, protect yourself from various surprises (such as synchronization sms, Safari browser tabs and others).

Finally, here's another instant way to get rid of repeated calls on different iPhones - "just" turn off the Internet and that's it. No internet - no synchronization.

Allows you to start working on one device and immediately continue on another, as well as, by taking a call on an iPhone, answer a paired iPad or Mac. But all the joys can fade if several home devices are paired with the account.

With an incoming call, the most that neither is the apocalypse, and in different rooms at the same time. We will tell you how to disable Continuity on certain devices in this article.

New iPhone users sometimes encounter a situation when, while talking on the phone, they are called on the second line, but they do not see or hear it.

As a result, some even mistakenly begin to believe that the iPhone does not have a "call waiting" function, but this is not so, it just needs to be activated, if for some reason it is not enabled by default.

Read how to turn on the second line on the iPhone in this manual.

For those who are not familiar with this feature of their phone, we will briefly talk about it. The call waiting function is really very convenient - you will not miss a call even if you are currently talking to another subscriber.

On the iPhone, as on most other phones, when you receive a call on the second line during a conversation with your interlocutor, you can choose one of three options:

• drop the incoming call and continue the conversation with the previous subscriber;
• answer an incoming call and put the previous conversation on hold (to return to it later);
• answer an incoming call and drop the current conversation, if you have already agreed with the previous subscriber.

Connecting a second line or the so-called "call waiting" on your phone is quite simple, for this you just need to put one slider in the settings in the "On" position.

Enabling second line in iPhone

It's all. Now the second line of your iPhone is activated and you will not miss a single important call, even if you are busy talking with another interlocutor.

To all of the above, it should be added that for some operators the call waiting function may be disabled on their side or even be a paid service. In this case, the slider for enabling call waiting will be inactive, and to activate the service you need to contact your mobile operator.

If you see the message "Failed to save Call Waiting setting" try restarting your phone. If this does not help, check the availability of the service with the operator. If the operator says that the service is available to you, reset your phone settings - in this case, the option appears in 100% of cases.

Users have the opportunity not only to answer calls directly from the computer, which is especially important when the iPhone is in another room, but even to make calls. However, poorly configured functionality can be annoying. For example, having an iPhone, iPad and Mac in an apartment, an incoming call to a smartphone can be heard by a whole cannonade from all devices tied to one account. In this article, we will tell you how to tame certain devices, depending on what functions you use in Continuity mode.

2 ... Open the following path in Finder

2. Go to the FaceTime section.
3. Deactivate the switch next to iPhone Cellular Calls.
