I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2, we share one Apple ID, is there anyway to stop her text messages from appearing on my iPhone and vice versa?

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

IPhone 3G stops receiving text messages in the middle of a conversation

My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 frequently stops receiving text messages in the middle of a back-and-forth texting conversation. No other function on the phone seems to be interrupted, because I usually just continue using other apps before I realize it's been 10 minutes since the other person last replied.
I can receive the messages by turning the phone off and on (once I realize what's going on), but this is such a hassle, especially because I can waste 15 minutes of another person's time in the process. Interestingly, once I turn the phone back on, I receive the messages and they tell me they were received at the earlier time (ie., if I was previously texting at 1:53, it might say 1:55, even though nothing showed up AT 1:55). So it seems like the phone receives the text and knows that it did, but for some reason doesn't display it or notify me at the time.
I've seen similar threads in this forum to this problem, but they all seem to be accompanied by other malfunctions, which this is not.
I'm on Telus in Canada.

How do I stop my text messages giving me a preview on the iPhone 4S?

On my old iPhone 3GS, I was able to stop the text messages from showing what was in them on the lock screen. It would come up with the person's name, and underneath just say "Text Message". However, on my new 4S, I have no idea how to do it. I can't find the option anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Preview > Off

My phone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says it sends, but nothing arrives. Any tips?

My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone? His text messages to me are showing up under my number, like he is me?

Go to settings, messages, send and recieve, scroll to where it says start new conversation from, and make sure you each have a different email address checked instead of the same email address.

Hi, HPYUNBDAY! Are you only getting this behavior with the text messages? Have you tried checking the messaging settings of the phone specifically the incoming notifications?
I'm not sure if it's actually possible to disable the notification for text messages. It's possible with the mail messages though. You can go to E-mail > Settings > Incoming Notifications.
We'll wait for your response.

How do I stop my text messages from my iPhone from going to my iPad. I am being charged twice from my phone company?

My iPhone receives text messages and they go to my iPad and since I pay for each text message. I want to be able to stop this from happening, how do I do this?????

If you are sending iMessages (blue bubbles in the Messages App), and use the same Apple ID on both the iPhone and the iPad messages will get sent to both devices. Its an iMessage feature to sync messages across devices.
iMessages are not SMS, and as such do not use your text messaging allowance.
https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/
Whether you use a phone number or an email if you are registered with iMessage and the person you are messaging is also, your messages will get sent through iMessage rather than SMS. Your iPad is able to receive iMessages, and you'll have the conversation on both devices. This is a good feature to have if you start the conversation on your Phone but later decide its easier to do it on your iPad or Mac.
iMessages only work between Apple devices.

IMessage & 10.8.2 Stopping Incoming Text Messages to iPhone 5?

I'm using Moutain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhone 5 ios 6.0.2. Both are updated to the latest versions of software available at this time.
I've been working at home today and using iMessage on my Macbook Pro Retina which has worked fine with sending and recieving - if I wans't actively using my mac my phone would sound, if I was using my mac the message would come straight through to my iMessage on my desktop - works fine!
However, I just sent a normal,non iMessage text message to a friend and suddenly about 5 normal text messages have come into my iPhone inbox with times sent much earlier today (some quite urgent work related ones as well, annoying). I definitely didn't miss them, they literally came in, the phone vibrated and the unread count in the inbox went up seconds after I pressed "send" of the normal text message.
I'm with O2 here in the UK, I have just checked the "service status" on their website and there are no reported issues. Just sent a normal text message from a family member's phone and it came through fine but I'm put off using iMessage on my mac if it delays receipt of normal text messages to my phone.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can I do anything to rectify it? Very inconvenient..!

Hi,
Broadly speaking to be effective in Syncing (Displaying in all Places) requires that there was a "Start Point" for the iMessages server to begin syncing the iMessages to iPhone, iPads and Macs running Messages once the Apple ID is in place.
Most people seem to state the opposite happens for them - their iPhone gets iMessages that the Mac does not.
The most likely cause for this is that the iPhone Number is not an Receive Alias on the Mac version and that iPhone to iPhone iMessages are in fact almost "Private".
I would start by checking the iPhone Number is in the Mac version of Messages as an iMessage alias.
I would then check the iPhone that the Apple ID involved is In the settings and is ticked as Active.
If all are present I would turn Off Messages on the iPhone or put in Airplane mode for a few minutes.
After you have turned it On again then Restart Messages on the Mac.
If you are short of Apple IDs and iPhone numbers you will get alert messages from the iMessages server saying the Apple ID and iPhone number are being used with the devices involved

How to stop getting text messages intended for another family member?

Hi,
I occassionally get a text message intended for another member of my family, and vice versa. When that happens we both get the message, and the other person can then see the rest of the thread. I think the problem is that we share 1 AppleID. If that's the cause I'm not sure how to correct it because we are also sharing all our app, music, and video purchases made with that ID. We are also on the Sprint network, if that is relevant.

On each device: Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...edit here & just make sure phone number is checked, or that only one person uses the Apple ID. Either that, or you each get separate Apple ID's for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud. you can continue to use the same ID for iTunes content.

How do I stop my text messages from appearing on my sons iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4 and my so has an iPhone 5. My other son has an iPod touch. Text messages are showing up on our devices when we weren't texting each other. I don't want to see my sons messages and vice versa. I turned off the cloud and it doesn't help.

I would guess you are probably sharing an apple ID account with your sons and it is using the imessage feature to send to all devices using that account. This article explains it, but you can shut it off from settings > messages.

How do I stop my text messages/iMessages from being sent to other devices on my account?

Ok. Ive just about had it with my parents/siblings being able to read every single text message I send/receive from their ipad or iphone. Is there anyway to disable this without having to lose all my music, apps, etc. by getting a new account? I understand the "grown up" thing to do would be to set up a new account, and just get off their freakin account, but it would just really suck to have to start all over. Ive never had this problem before until I got the new update. Help?

iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
Have the other iPhones with iMessage registered with your shared Apple ID register iMessage on their iPhone with their own Apple ID.
