Resolved Not logged into iCloud but still receive iMessages! Why?

[Charkel]

Hi,

I receive iMessages to my Mac but I ain't logged into ANY iCloud account.

How to remove it?

It's my work computer and I don't want all my personal messages to show on this computer.

I just don't want to disable iMessages. I want to completely remove any connection to my phone/iCloud from this Mac!

iMessages is not tied to your iCloud account, but to your Apple ID. When you log out of iCloud, you are thus not logging out of iMessages, only the iCloud part of it. Open the Messages app, go the its preferences and log out from there.

No worries, it's a wee bit confusing for everyone.
