text message forwarding

Text message forwarding is not enabled in settings on my iPhone, but my messages re still being received on my other devices. Is there a way to stop this? All are logged in on the same iCloud account.

To stop syncing, you would need to log out of your Apple ID on that device. Backing up to iCloud is not directly related to syncing to iCloud.


Also to make sure I understand. Which types of "text" messages are you referring to: iMessages or SMS text messages. The latter would only "forward" to a Mac if enabled to do so on an iPhone.
