iPhone answered in another device
I recently have been having complaints from friends & family that some girl is answering my phone calls. I’ve argued that I haven’t gotten any calls & that I’m with no one. I’ve noticed that I do have calls in my call log from people but it says “answered on another device”. I don’t own another device. My call forwarding on Apple is turned off & there are no other devices logged into my ID. I have tried changing my password, etc. Today two people called me & spoke with a female.. it wasn’t me. They called my number & someone else is answering from another phone, as if we have the same phone number. Can anyone help me with this issue?

This recently started within a few weeks. I purchased my phone directly through AT&T.. no one could have had access to my phone. It’s as if I’m sharing a phone number with someone else

Change your password to your Apple ID and turn off call and text on other devices

Hello, @Amber10147,
From your description, @lizdance40 is correct. Your old iPhone is still connected to your Apple account. If the issue is ongoing after you've changed your Apple ID and turned off call & text to other devices, you'll need to contact Apple for assistance.
Have a great week.

I am experiencing this problem as well. Neither of my other own devices are answering my calls but I am unable to answer them. I purchased my phone from AT&T and WIPED my previous phone before returning it to them with no SIM card in it. It seems my calls are going somewhere.....but not always to me
I have also noticed that when I go turn off “calls on other devices” and then back out of that menu, it still indicates ON as if I can’t turn it off completely

Read through the entire Apple article, maybe something will click.
2 factor authenticate your Apple ID, so no one else is using it.
