When I send messages from my iPhone (A) to another iPhone (B), the responses from B keep coming to my Mac and do not appear on my phone (A), even when I have iMessages closed. This is maddening. How can I prevent this from happening?

From that OS onwards, your Mac’s Messages app lets you pick up conversations on your computer right where you left off on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Messages for Mac is completely free and works with anyone who has iMessage activated on their iOS, OS X, and macOS devices. Over the years lots of iPhone and iPad apps have made it over to the Mac, including Notes, Maps, Photos, iBooks and Messages.Using the Messages app on the Mac it is possible to send and receive. With the Messages app, you can send all kinds of things to all kinds of people. You can send iMessages over Wi-Fi or cellular data to anyone and everyone using an iPhone, iPad, Mac. IMessage Apps. Take advantage of the Messages framework in iOS 10 or later to create an app extension that lets users interact with your app directly within Messages. Users can easily create and share content, add stickers, make payments, and more, without leaving their conversations.

You have a couple of ways to configure this. First off, make sure both the computer and iPhone have been set up to use the sameApple ID.

You can disable Messages.app's ability to receive text messages on your Mac:
- Open the Messages application. Access your preferences by going to the menubar and clicking Messages -> Preferences...
- Under the 'Accounts' tab, you will see all the accounts you've set up to use with Messages, including iCloud. Selecting 'iCloud' from the options on the left side of that screen will show the email addresses you specified and your phone number.
- Unchecking these will disable the ability of Messages.app to receive those messages you wish to send only between mobile devices.
On your iPhone:
- Tap 'Settings', then scroll down to 'Messages' and tap it.
- Scroll down to 'Send and Receive' and tap it. Look for the menu option heading that says 'You can be reached by iMessage at:', which has your phone number (checked by default) and the email account you configured when you initially set up your iPhone. This is probably your apple ID, but can be any other email address you've specified.
- Simply tap the email addresses that are checked to disable them. This should force messages to communicate with only your phone number.

It should work by disabling all but your phone number on iMessage, but you may need to disable everything on your Mac as well. A little experimentation and tweaking should get you set in just a couple of minutes.

Good luck!

The best thing to do is just reset your setting and sign out of iCloud on your computer. once it's done reseting on your phone, sign back in on your Mac and every thing should be fine.

You can also sign out in Messages on your Mac. Under Preferences, then click Accounts and click the Sign Out button. Then you will no longer receive messages on your Mac.
