My wife and I both have iPhones. They are both linked to the same Apple account. Sometimes calls I make on my iPhone appear in the "recents" list on her iPhone - but sometimes they don't.

It doesn't have anything to do with geographical location, it seems, or being on the same Wifi system. I've just come back from the US to the UK and some calls I made there have appeared on her iPhone, some haven't.

Two questions:

1. Why do calls I make sometimes get put into my wife's "recents" list and sometimes not?
2. Is there a way to stop it happening altogether?
