My wife and I are seeing each other’s calls on our call list

My wife and I share an Apple ID and as a result our call lists are shared. How do I switch this off?

You need to stop sharing an Apple ID. You can continue to share content by setting up Family Sharing once you've established the second Apple ID.

Apple ID - create a new.      


Apple ID – Create         


Family Sharing.         


Family Sharing - Set up.        


When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
