[QUOTE="marcopolo, post: 1566054, member: 152319"] Think I found the reason, when using a single account for all units (probably iCloud) all the message contacts, in this case 'text recipients' and 'not phone contacts' are shared. Although some settings can be unshared regardless of using a single account, once these are they are not removed from each device even when unique iCloud accounts are configured later on. The only way to remove them in one go is to backup and then wipe the unit. The workaround is to delete them individually; [I]when composing a message, in the To: press 'i' on the contact which is not yours and select 'delete from recent'[/I]. Seems this is a real gripe with many owners that goes back a few years and I can see why! [/QUOTE]
