Un-sync iMessages to device on same iCloud

[Andrew-L]

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

Is there a simple way to do that?

There might be, however, the "simple way" might be specific to the type of device. Perhaps you can share...

Go to iCloud on the phone you wish to turn off syncing and turn-off message syncing.
Settings--> your ID --> "Show All" (under Apps Using iCloud")-->"Messages in iCloud" (turn this off).

Sign out of iCloud totally and don't let them know the ID/password?

Setup Family Sharing and let the other device have their own AppleID?

Sign out on that device.
