    Un-sync iMessages to device on same iCloud

    Hello, I have a few devices on the same iCloud account. I would like 3 of the 4 devices to share iMessages and SMS, continuity, etc, but I want one of them to NOT have any of those (because I let a family member use it). Is there a simple way to do that? TIA

    iCloud Scammer used one of my iCloud aliases to send me aggressive email

    I got a junk (and aggressive, a bit threatening) scam email where the sender spoofed one of my iCloud aliases (that I never use) as both the sender and the recipient. How do they do that? Do they pick up the alias on the dark web (like everything else) or has my Apple iCloud account been...

    My wife and I both have our own iCloud accounts, though part of a family account. She has her own Photos and I have my own Photos. Is there any way to see/view/edit them on the same computer?

    When signing into iCloud with a new iPhone, what happens to recently taken photos/videos already on the device?

    So suppose I get a new iPhone 15 right before I go abroad on holiday for a few weeks. My old iPhone that I've used for everything over the years is a 2016 SE, and I take it with me, using it for everything I've always used it for. I'd prefer to transfer everything on that SE to my brand new...
