In this guide, we will make you aware of a plausible workaround to rectify the issue of Voicemail being merged after the iOS 17 update. The seventeenth iteration of the OS has brought quite a few noteworthy features to the fore. However, on the flip side, it has also paved the way for the entry of a few bugs as well. The latest one to get affected by this feature is Voicemail.
In this regard, users who were using the same Apple ID [but different phone numbers] on their iPhones have voiced their concern that the voicemail from both their phone numbers seems to have been merged after the latest iOS 17 update. As a result of this, when someone leaves a voicemail on one phone, it shows up on the other and vice versa.
Likewise, if someone deletes the voicemail from one phone, it gets deleted from the other as well, and vice versa. If you are also facing a similar issue, then this guide will help you out. Follow along for the fix.
Fix Voicemail merged after the iOS 17 Update
Well, Apple never recommends sharing Apple ID’s in the first place. So instead of using this practice, you should create two different Apple IDs and then link them via Family Sharing. The latter could be done by heading over to Settings > name > Family Sharing > Set Up Your Family. Then follow the on-screen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.
That’s it. As of now, this is the only workaround that should help you rectify the issue of Voicemail being merged after the iOS 17 update. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
