How to stop iPhones from syncing?

Three of our four iPhones are syncing. So any messages I write are visible on the other iPhones. And I would like to remove my self from that syncing, so that my messages to my friends are private.

iPhone 14, iOS 17

This is what happens when multiple devices share the same Apple ID. Apple has, for more than decade advised against doing that --> Make sure each family member has a unique Apple Account – Apple Support (UK)


Until you stop sharing the same Apple with someone else, this is the end result. If you want it to stop, use the link IdrisSeabright shared to "unshare" your Apple IDs.
