If you mean the Text Message Forwarding functionality for the Messages app, on your iPhone go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Text Message Forwarding and turn off the devices you don't need the messages to go to.


Note that even if a device is turned on (your Mac, for instance), you still receive notifications on your iPhone. (You'll receive a notification on your Mac as well.)
