Strange Phenomenon!

Anonymous
Not applicable

I hope someone can help me as I'm struggling.

 

My wife and I have Apple Iphone 4s. We have different apple ID's and different icloud addresses.

 

Since last week it appears my wife's phone has merged onto mine. When I say merged all of her contacts now appear in my phonebook. What is weirder is that where we have duplicate numbers it appears that the name i have for that person in my phone has been changed to the name they are logged as in my wife's phone.

 

i started to delete some of wife's contacts that now appear within my phonebook but when I delete and then refresh the contacts they automatically come back!

 

This hasn't happened before and I'm at a loss to explain and fix it.

 

Any help would be really welcomed.

 

Thanks

Do you both plug your iPhone into the same computer/laptop/Mac?


Now that would be one heck of a security leak for Apple to fix!!

We had an issue once whereby my mum and sister both used the same computer when they plugged it in to iTunes.  Even though they logged in as themselves on iTunes, there was an issue with the data and music, apps and contacts transfered from my sisters phone to my mums phone.  I had to restore my mums phone to erase all of my sisters data.
