Hey all,

Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question, so mods please feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum.

I have my personal MacBook and iPhone, and I would like to keep iMessage synced between those two devices like I always have. No issues there.

Recently, I got another MacBook and iPhone to use for work. I would like to have iMessage sync between these two devices without having my personal messages in these work devices, and vice-versa. I'm using the same Apple Account, since this is the only account I have, and all I've managed to do so far is keep new messages to their respective devices, but when I sync to iCloud all my previous personal messages get added to my work devices.

I think the solution is going to be to make a new Apple Account, but before I do that, is there a way to have it do what I want it to do?
 
Suspected as much, but was curious if there was a workaround. Thanks!
