Two Message Toggles In iOS 15.5

I haven’t noticed this prior to iOS 15.5. There are now TWO toggles with iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud for Messages. The upper toggle would switch Messages on/off in iCloud.

What does the lower toggle do?

Missing Message toggle under iCloud on iPad with iOS 9.3.5 I have a iPad Mini with 9.3.5 and I don't seem to find the Message toggle under iCloud. Apart from that iMessages arrive to my iPad but when deleting them on iPhone, that given deleted message is still available on my iPad. Any idea?

I regularly use a 3 line C program I wrote 20 years ago (it prints the text for *nix error codes). It has 2 bugs that I don’t bother to fix, because to fix them would require a lot more than 3 lines, and would probably introduce additional bugs.

I am trying to find that out after you posted it.

Great finding!

I have this for messages and photos as well. Already have been in touch with Apple and they currently have no explanation…

I use 2 factor but never had keychain on by default when setting up a new device. 🤔

That would make sense for messages. The duplicate photo toggles however I am not sure as I haven’t used iCloud photos on the 8 or iPad.
