How do I stop text messages from appearing on my laptop after upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.5?

I cannot stop texts from appearing on my laptop. I do not want texts forwarded to my laptop.

Text forwarding is turned off on the phone

iCloud for messages is disabled on the laptop.

This is a new problem since upgrade to Sequoia 15.5

Not all messages are "text." Some are iMessage and they will go to any device logged into iMessages.

Check Messages Settings > iMessage and Sign Out of your Apple account. Signing out should disable both iMessage and SMS (text) messages.
