To check, open Settings > iCloud and toggle on Messages. I also ran into an issue once (with a friend's iPhone) where the phone number wasn't showing up in the 'Send & Receive' list when we went to fix this. Tap on any accounts that you want to link or unlink from iMessage on your device to add or remove the check-mark. (Bonus) Review the accounts listed for the 'You can be reached by iMessage at' list and make sure that you want all of those.Not to mention the fact that deleted conversations Ive had on my iPhone. It is incredibly annoying as, for example, messages that have been read and replied to on my iPhone, the moment I turn my MacBook on, they pop up as dozens of notifications as you would get with new messages.
