iPhone call log incorrectly shows missed call as answered with Continuity

Hi everyone,

We encountered a strange issue with Apple Continuity / "Calls on Other Devices" today and want to check if this is a known sync bug or glitch.

Setup:

  • iPhone (with SIM) in one room
  • iPad (Wi-Fi, same Apple ID) in another room

Scenario:

The iPhone received two consecutive missed calls from the same caller, about one minute apart. Nobody picked up or touched either device.

The Issue:

  1. On iPhone: The call log shows two entries. However, the first call is logged as "Answered on another device", even though no one touched or answered the iPad.
  2. On iPad: The Phone/FaceTime app only shows one single missed call (the second one). The first call isn't listed in the iPad's missed call log at all.

Question:

Is it common for Continuity or iCloud sync to incorrectly register a missed call as "Answered on another device" on the host iPhone, and consequently purge/hide that call entry from the secondary iPad's missed call log?

Has anyone else experienced this specific sync mismatch between iPhone and iPad call logs?

Thanks for any insights!
