Perfect video! Just what I needed! I never even thought about iCloud! Thanks much!!

This method doesn’t work at all. My messages still synced.

[WackyCrackyMan]

Yah i already had this setting turned off and it had been sending them the whole time

[hatsurrin]

It was already off for me and still shares

[carlosmunoz]

Right to the freakin point !!! That’s all I asked for !!!’

Just posted a positive comment on here because it all worked. However, now I understand what others are saying because when I remove the toggle to stop syncing messages are still showing on iPad as well as iphone. Maybe because they are in the Cloud? However, if I slide to delete does this mean I will no longer have past messages available to view on my iPhone? I did try turning iPad off and back on again. Please advise.

Thank you very much for this video you are a life saver!!!

Thanks for the video, easy to understand and right to the point.
My issue is that I already have messages on my iPad and I no longer want to receive any more. I followed the steps you provided and toggled off the switch and so now I want to re-open messages to delete all of them so I can free up storage. However I keep getting asked to sign into my account so I can receive messages. Any suggestions?

[samip]

Thanks for your very useful video. Great information presented clearly and precisely. 🤙

One question I have is whether or not it is possible to be selective as to which contacts one wishes to sync. Somehow I have a feeling it is all or nothing. Is this the case?

[chenning]

Mine is actually turned off and my messages are still showing up on computer. Anyone figure out a fix? Thanks!

Go to - Setting, messages, send & recieve and select or deselect the numbers.

Peace✌️

So I dont have “ messages” option under iCloud . I see “messages in iCloud” on both devices and neither gives me the options to toggle of the sync.

[artaraiza]

Yo your video was awesome appreciate it however that setting did not work out for me I am still receiving messages on my three devices how can I go up around this route?

[susanblawhorne]

My messages still synced as well. I like the way you explain the steps….very clear but didn’t work for me

[Fargin_Icehole]

but does this keep my messages on icloud?

[prattmandu]

Won’t this make it so that my messages are no longer backed up? So if I get a new phone and I restore from backup then it won’t have my messages?

[meretejohansen]

Do the other divise need to do the same?

[johnmichalowski]

Can you disable only the text messages but have all the pictures available on both phones?

[PossessedKid]

Hey, can I do this on the device I want to delete the contacts off of? This I think shows it keeping messages on phone, but I want them off, and on my other phone. Is this possible?
