removing phone number

Is there any way to not have ur messages synced to an iPad? Because i have a iPhone and i have put my iCloud in it but I don’t want it to use my number and have my messages on there. Is there anyway to un sync my number from the iPad so i can just receive my messages on my iphone?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Hi vannah289,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to stop receiving messages on your iPad. This article explains how: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime.


"Remove your phone number

If you don't want calls or messages for your iPhone on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you can remove your phone number. There are two ways to do this:

  • On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select your Apple ID at the bottom of the screen and tap Sign Out. Then go to Settings > FaceTime, select your Apple ID, and tap Sign Out.
  • If the phone number that you want to remove belongs to an iPhone that you can't access, change your Apple ID password. This removes all phone numbers from your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Calls or messages for the removed numbers won't appear on those devices anymore.

If you have questions, contact Apple Support."


Take care.
