Yes. Before attempting to delete messages, ensure that iCloud Messages has been disabled in iPad settings.


  • For iPadOS16:

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


  • For iPadOS15 and earlier:

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