But why never happened before ios 17 upgrading?

According to sources that I came across while responding to this Apple community thread , call sharing happened well before iOS 17. There's also this:

https://www.imore.com/apple-comments-icloud-call-history-sync-what-you-need-know

"We offer call history syncing as a convenience to our customers so that they can return calls from any of their devices," an Apple spokesperson told iMore. 

View and delete the call history on your iPhone - Apple Support

"To keep call history up to date across all devices, turn on iCloud Drive."

Unfortunately, the shared album option doesn't really work for us as it isn't the original/default location where all photos go automatically (as it does today) and you are limited to 5000 images for a shared album. Anyway, it's too bad this bug was 'fixed' as I really really liked the pre-IOS17 behavior with a shared ID for 2 phones with no call history contamination.. oh well.

Then sync the photos to your home computer, then move them to each phone using iTunes if they need to be on each iPhone.

But u can change your location on google maps/pic it says edit or adjust n everything else but not one thing that caused problems and helps ur partner accuse u of stuff cuz they’re seeing random numbers and tripping balls when it’s numbers at work n kids school etc even my sisters kids schools call me and there’s no way to get deleted stuff back ever like wtf only if I die? Why can’t we get our own stuff back from Apple literally said it’s just gone no way I couldn’t have deleted it for good it’s my only proof ugggg

That's correct. Apple doesn't recommend sharing an Apple ID. And it was supposed to show the call list on both phones if the phones do share the same Apple ID. If they didn't show the call list previously, Apple fixed it in the iOS update. And you can't change it.

I can't speak for Apple. They likely fixed what was supposed to work to begin with.

The fact remains that sharing an Apple ID is not recommended. But if you do, you'll just have to live with a merged phone call list on both phones sharing the ID.

I have the same exact issue as well after upgrading to IOS 17 - me and my wife's phones which have shared the same apple ID for the last 9+ years and never had any issues. ...now we have our call history all intertwined. Looks like our only option is to have 2 separate IDs and it won't be as easy to have all our photos/video go to the same icloud location where all photos from each phone would just get uploaded together since we shared all that as if it was all from the same phone... bleh - lame.

You can set up a shared iCloud photo album, which two people with different Apple IDs can share. This will solve the issue you seem most concerned about --> How to use Shared Albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support

So how do I turn this off? I've tried turning off family sharing and rebooting both phones but when I turn it back on both phones will show the same personal information, and if I update on one the other updates within a minute or so.

I had the same issue. Then I created an new Apple ID to solve it. But both phones continue to receive same calls at the same time. So problem not solved. How can I solve this ? Can it be cause by the same wifi ?
