HT1688 problem with some of my text messages going to another phone and other devices on my account

Some messages that are texted to my phone go directly to another phone(with a different number) on my account. 

More than likely someone sent you an iMessage addressed to your Apple ID email address that is also registered with iMessage on your iPhone in addition to your cell phone number. The cell phone number is registered with the Apple ID email address when activating iMessage on an iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Under You Can Be Reached By iMessage At, deselect your Apple ID email address.
Under Start New Conversations From, make sure your cell phone number is selected.

  • How do I stop my text messages/iMessages from being sent to other devices on my account?

    Ok. Ive just about had it with my parents/siblings being able to read every single text message I send/receive from their ipad or iphone. Is there anyway to disable this without having to lose all my music, apps, etc. by getting a new account? I understand the "grown up" thing to do would be to set up a new account, and just get off their freakin account, but it would just really suck to have to start all over. Ive never had this problem before until I got the new update. Help?

    iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
    Have the other iPhones with iMessage registered with your shared Apple ID register iMessage on their iPhone with their own Apple ID.

  • There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting.  With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

  • Since I upgraded to IOS 6 , when I text it goes to my phone and my wife's how to I make it stop

    Since I upgraded to IOS 6 , when I text it goes to my phone and my wife's how to I make it stop

    It is  a Continuity feature. See the quote below from: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Phone calls
    To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
    Your iPhone needs to use iOS 8 or later.
    Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.

  • Does anyone have problems with some websites where text is overwritten and it is impossible to navigate the site as the buttons to for example confirm purchases do not work?

    I am having problems with some websites - e.g. Easyjet and more recently the Sport Relief website, where the text overwrites other text and images and it means it is impossible click to accept, confirm or find further information?

  • IOS is showing my text messages on my husbands phone and vice versa

    My husband updated to iOS6 earlier today and I did it later. Now, whenever I receive a text message from anyone he gets it on his phone. Also, whenever he sends it to anyone I get it on my phone.
    Even more interesting, if I send a message to him, it shows up on my phone as being from me. If he sends one to me, it shows up on his phone as from him. And, if I send a message on the thread that would be myself to myself, it shows up on my phone as being from my husband. Our Cloud settings are turned off. We do share apple ID. We share a phone plan through verizon. Our cell phone numbers on the phones themselves have not changed.
    Any ideas?

    Try this....
    settings>messages>send&receive
    from there make sure only the number for the phone has a check mark beside it.
    You may have to do this to both phones. I think this will work as my husband and I are having the same problem.

  • ICloud creates duplicate text messages on both my phone and my wifes. Very annoying. where do I go to fix settings?

    I can't find a easily accessible way to not change iCloud device coveage.  Both my wife and I sync to the same computer and account.  How do I get her phone number off of account so we don't get copied in on messages sent to one another?

    To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of the phones, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

  • TS1398 I am begun to experience problems with my wi-fi connection on my home router.  All other devices in the house work fine - but my iPhone 3GS seems to connect to the route OK, then loses the connection,  I have tried re-boot/network settings etc - no

    As per my headline comment, the wi-fi connection (which before IO6) worked fine now problematic, and iPhone in serious danger of flying out of the window..is there an option to get previous IOS back on the phone?  I have tried the various "solutions" indicated in the chat forum but nothing helps..any ideas before I lose what little hair I have left?

    If, as you suggest, you have iOS 6.0.2 installed in your 3GS, you shouldn't have. That OS is only for the iPhone 5 and Mini iPad.
    Try rebooting the router. Any other devices working happily on it are irrelevent.

  • TS1702 I have developed a problem with some of th apps that connect and the throws you out of the games losing. Life or they won't connect at all can anyone offer a suggestion to solve problem

    Hi lusha,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you can't receive text messages after restarting your phone and trying to update, try these steps next:
    If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
    See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
    Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
    When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
    If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.

  • Kin one not sending and receiving some of my text messages?

    I've had my kin one for several months now (mine is used as a feature phone, no data package). I was having no problems up until now.
    in the past week or so, I've noticed that I'm not getting some of my text messages. also, some people are not receiving some messages I send.
    plus, when I send a message, normally it pops up right away in the thread, so I can read what I just sent. lately, it's not doing that anymore. if I want to read what I just sent, I have to back out to the main menu, and then go back to that contact's message thread to read it.
    is anyone else having these issues?  I wonder if they're going to get worse.....

    When I am recieving messages from friends they sometimes arrive as blanks messages, usually 3 at a time.  And recently I have been having trouble receiving messages, as well as sending messages. I have not added anything new to my phone. I tried *228. And Yes I recently moved, but have been living here without many problems for 6 months. 
    I have tried turning the phone off and removing the battery, as well as removing the battery while the phone was still on. These things may help for one or two messages, but  then reverts back to the missed text and unreceived messages.
    I can definitely see how this can be unsettling for you.  I use text messaging all the time and if I was having these issues I would be concerned as well.  In order to resolve your issue can you please PM me your name and number and I can see what other options we have for you.  Hope this helps.  Thanks.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.
