Until recently, I could delete a text message from my iPhone 13 Pro & keep that message on my iPad. Now all of a sudden, it deletes the messages off both devices. How do I fix it this issue to get back to how it was originally?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

If you don’t wish to synchronise iMessage between your devices, simply disable Messages in iCloud:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > Messages - set to OFF
