IPhone: Why are my husband's contacts merged with mine?
Recently I noticed that my husband's contacts began showing up on my phone. We've been using iPhones for 4 years and never experienced any issue like this before. I have looked up explanations online and the most common one seems to be using the same iCloud account - but we have never shared one. WE DON'T SHARE ANY ACCOUNTS. We've always had individual accounts. Any ideas as to how this happened and (most importantly) how we can fix it?
We have an iPhone 6s and a 6s Plus both running iOS 9.2.1
This also happened to us - and We DO share an account. It is possible that somehow - and in updates, things *magically* get rest by themselves - that you BOTH are now backing up your Contacts in the SAME place - both on your computer, of both on the same iCloud account (which you say you do not - go check again). I'm the geek here- DH just want things to work. So of course *I* get accused of somehow messing things up. I have ON PAPER (he likes paper. ) where every one of our Contacts, Notes, Calendars (we merge, too) etc. Are stored for backup - and STILL things go haywire. Our Photo Stream has decided - within the last 2 days - to NOT send photos to our computer. I will have to resort to iCloud Photos again - clean everything out - DELETE the program -and start fresh - AGAIN, for about the fourth time in 14 months. So - I suggest that you take both phones, one at a time, and find you just WHERE everything is being backed up. Make sure that your Contacts are NOT backed up in the sam place. Then sit down - pour yourselves drinks- and then MANUALLY sort of the duplicates and unwanted entries. CHECK INFO on duplicates -we lost anniversaries and birthdays the last time we did this - about 2 months ago. Have to send *belated* cards to a few folks. This shoudl help but be prepared for MORE of what on company describes thus: "Our software does NOT have any glitches in it! It just spontaneous generates random features." Good luck - and be kind and patient - and remember those drinks…
- Why won't mine and my wife s iphone calendars merge/ sync? Our calendars used to sync.whenever she added something to her calendar on her phone it would go to mine and vice-versa. It no longer does this. I can't figure out why. We text each other with appointments and things and each of us manually adds the others things. Please Help. Thanks in advance. We both have CALENDAR ON under iCloud. But it still won't do it.
- Why is husband receiving all my conversations.iphone4?

- Whatsapp contacts - if they're onnm contacts am I on theirs? I have the phone number of an old friend stored on my iPhone and they also show on my whatsapp contact list… Does this mean that they still have my phone number stored in their phone and also have whatsapp installed on their phone? The chat thing says they haven't been seen since 28th sept? If they didn't have my number on their phone would they still show as one of my contacts on whatsapp?
- In mine craft, how do I mine diamonds and red stone? I have the minecraft paid version on my iphone. I found a lot of redstone, but every time I try to mine it, it disappears. Meaning that it does not show up in my inventory. I tried it with an iron pickaxe, but it still doesn't work.
