Just upgraded to iOS 7 and messages are showing up on multiple phones within our family.  We all use the same iCloud account. I believe this happened the last time there was a major iOS upgrade but I can't remember what the fix was!  Help!

The four members of my family just upgraded to iOS 7 last night.  We now find that we are receiving each other's text messages.  It's possible that during the installs, a few members may not have "unckecked" the multiple phone numbers they can be reached on.  I know that I had to uncheck my husbands work mobile number and work email address as they came up as choices for contacting me.  So now I am receiving some of my daughter's text messages on my phone - she's not impressed!  My husband is receiving my texts etc...  It's a mess!  I appreciate any help anyone can offer!

I had this problem last night as well.  Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine.  When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal.  However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved.  I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about.  Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW).  To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options...   One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone.  I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings.  The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time,  and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings.  Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information.  When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account.  Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up.  This resolved the problem for us.  I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed.  So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.
