why are my text messages showing up on another iphone that I sync with my account?

I have two iPhones, both synced to one computer and iTunes account each with separate phone numbers. When I send a text from my iPhone

or a text is sent to me from another iPhone, it shows up on my second iPhone. How can I configure to stop it?

These are iMessages which will show on all your devices if signed into the same iMessage email address by design.


Settings > Messages > Receive At > Change the email address to a different one than the other phone. If it's your Apple ID, you'll have to sign out of it on the phone you're changing (won't affect other Apple ID functions). To sign out, tap ID at top of setting page.
