Hi,

I have recently done an upgrade of my mom's MacBook Air 2012 from Sierra to High Sierra. I entered her iCloud details during the installation, and afterwards signed her out again, so all the calendar and contact info disappeared from the macbook as expected. However, the text messages she receives on her iPhone are still being shown on the macbook. I've now manually signed her off in Messages as well, but I am really confused and surprised by this. When I sign out of iCloud in the settings, I expect to be signed out of all services, including iMessages. This looks like a pretty bad bug in my opinion if someone can still receive someone else's text messages even though they've logged out of iCloud on that computer. What do you think?
