Q: How do I stop iMessages from automatically showing on my laptop or iPad
I want my iMessages to notify me of message, but not display the message on my iPad and laptop and desktop. How do I change this?
I also want the notification that I received an iMessage on my iPhone 5, but not display the entire message for anyone to see.
Thanks for any help
iPad, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Well - you have a few options
If you do not want to receive messages on the iPad and Mac - turn off Continuity
Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support
If you just want to disable notifications
On iPad
Settings - Notifications - Messages - toggle to OFF
To stop previews only
Settings - Notifications - Messages - Show Preview - toggle to OFF (white)
On Mac
- System Prefs - Notifications - Messages - choose what you would like - you can turn it off or UN check show previews
