Perform all the following:


  • Settings > Messages > iMessage = “off”
  • On your iPhone: Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding > [this iPad] = “off”
  • Delete all messages from your iPad
  • On the iPad’s Messages app, press “Edit” in the upper left followed by “Show Recently Deleted” and delete everything there
