How do I unlink my iPhone messages from my iMac iMessages? I don't want my phone texts to show up on my home computer anymore.
I have an iPhone 5c, 8.1.2 and an iMac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, if that helps. Thanks!
iPhone 5c, iOS 8.1.2
The following from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support has how to turn it on. I suspect that you can turn it off by undoing the items 1 and 2:
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
- Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
- Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
- On your iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
- Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
- Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Sign out in Messages prefs and use a different email address.
