If you're tired of your iPhone text messages syncing to other devices, you're not alone. This can be frustrating, especially if you're using a shared iCloud account or have multiple devices connected to the same Apple ID.
To stop this from happening, you'll need to disable iCloud syncing on your iPhone. This can be done by going to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup and toggling off the switch next to "Messages".
By doing so, you'll prevent new text messages from syncing to other devices. However, this might not completely stop syncing, as existing messages may still be synced due to iCloud's automatic backup feature.
To avoid this, you can also manually delete your iCloud backup or set it to back up less frequently.
