How to Share Call History Between Two iPhones on iOS 16/17/18?

Part 1. Transfer call history to new iPhone with iCloud/iTunes

Traditionally, when we talk about backing up or transferring data on our iOS devices, we may think of using either iCloud or iTunes. Indeed, you can duplicate call logs on iPhone with iCloud or iTunes.

Transfer call history to new iPhone with iCloud syncing (same Apple ID)

If the two iPhones share the same Apple account, then transfer call history is just a piece of cake. Once you toggle it on, you can check the call history on both devices. Actually, iCloud doesn’t sync call history directly, it syncs contacts instead.

Follow the steps to make it. On both of your iPhones, go to Settings > Tap [your name] > Tap iCloud > Scroll down to locate Contacts and toggle it on.

Tips:
※ The duration of the process depends on the number of contacts, so it may take time to finish. You can go to the Contact to have a check.
※ If the target iPhone is a new one, you can also try Quick Start to switch to new iPhone  or try the method mentioned in Part 2.
※ Bonus: How to stop sharing call history between two iPhones?
If you get annoyed with it one day, you can follow the steps on both of your iPhones to stop it. Open Settings > Tap [your name] > iCloud > Toggle off Contacts > Tap Keep on My iPhone > Scroll down to locate iCloud Drive and turn it off.

Transfer call history to new iPhone with iTunes backup

Another way about how to share call history on iPhone is to restore iTunes backup. You need to backup the call history first, then restore the backup to new iPhone as well as call history.

However, there is something you should be acquainted with before you do it.
• Data loss. If you choose to restore iTunes backup on the target iPhone, all the data and settings will be wiped off. Hence, if you have already set up your new iPhone, you’d better make a full iPhone backup before transferring call history to new iPhone with iTunes backup.
• Unknown error. After all, iTunes is not a professional backup tool, you may meet kinds of iTunes problems on Windows PC or Mac to stop you from backing up or transferring data successfully.
