Iphone 4 (ios7) randomly sending blank text messages to my contacts

My iphone 4 is sending empty text messages to a subset of my contacts. I am not initiating these messages. It happens everytime i boot my phone and also a few times during the day,
I've changed my apple id...and that didnt help.
I disabled the emails that I can be reached by using imessage.
I dont know what else to do.
Any help here would be appreciated.
I am wondering if a 3rd party app has access to my imessage and contacts?
Thanks!

Try rebooting ur iPhone ( by holding the home and the sleep buttons for like 40 sec )
Or try to connect ur iPhone to iTunes and restore it and active it as a new iPhone ( cuz backups may contain some bugs)
Hope it works

  • I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message it shows up on the other iphone. How do i change this

    I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message, it shows on the other iphone. How do i change 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 of your phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, 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 are 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.

  • My icloud account is automatically sending blank text messages to my friends

    Does anyone else have access to your Apple ID.

  • IPhone keeps receiving and sending out text message instead of imessage

    For some odd reason my iphone has been sending and receiving text messages rather than imessage to other iphone users.  When they send messages to me their phone is sending it as text to me.  Also when they send messages, it takes a long time to send and it takes a while to finish sending.  I called Sprint and they said that if I have iMessage on, I have to turn off MMS.  If I have MMS on, I have to turn off iMessage.  That completely doesn't make any sense to me at all.  My phone is an iPhone 4.  Thanks in advance for the help

    I figured out how to default back to text messages if iOS 8 was forcing you to use iMessages! It's a bit of a process but it goes as follows:
    1. Leave iMessage on (trust me)
    2. Select the "send & receive" section
    3. Uncheck your Apple ID (the grey one)
    4. Select your Apple ID (the blue one)
    5. Select "sign out"
    6. Back up & turn iMessage off
    7. Voila! You can send text messages now!

  • Blank Text Message From Different Contact

    I keep getting a seperate blank text from a contact when a different contact sends me a text.

    Are you closing down the Messages App often?
    Whenever you reopen it, the blank conversations saved in your scroll pop open at the top.

  • My iPhone 4 will not send photo text messages

    my ipnone 4 suddenly won't send photos in a txt msg.  I've tried rebooting but no luck.  It worked fine the other day.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

    My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

    That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
    I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
    Anyway...
    My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
    I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.1
    So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
    The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
    Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
    No need to reset anything

  • Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

    I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
    the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

    Hi,
    Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
    A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
    An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network  at present. (or run out of Power)
    You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

  • Why can't I send a text message to more than one contact?

    With all my previous cell phones I was able to send a single text message to more than one contact. With the iPhone I can only send to one contact and then I have to type the text message again and send to another contact, and so on. Or am I messing a fuction on the iPhone that allows for sending a text message to more than one contact?

    No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

  • I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

    I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??

    I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

  • I have downloaded ios7 and a little while later I cannot send a text message to another iphone

    I recently downloaded ios7 and then the second download and after a couple of days I can no longer send a text message to another iphone

    If it was not sent, it is possible that you prevented it from being sent. However, if it made it to the Apple server before it tried sending as a SMS, it is very possible it still could be sent. In my opinion, I would say no.

  • IPhone 4: Blank text messages, dropped calls, slow Internet connection

    I thought I was going to be so happy with the iPhone 4 but I am very dissatisfied... Every time I am on the phone the call drops, called AT&T and they can't help and transfer me to apple, still no answer from both parties. I could not believe that they said to use DUCKTAPE.... Are they being serious??????
    Also, when I send a text message, most of the time the person receiving the text says it is blank. Has anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I just bought a couple of iphone 4's last week (one for my wife and one for me). After two days of using it, my wife commented that her sister (who lives in Los Angeles, we live in Seattle) was receiving "some" messages blank. Originally I thought it was related to my sister in law being on a T-mobile network or just because she was using a different phone.
    However, last night, a friend mentioned exactly the same thing. Out of three text messages I've sent, two came in blank, no text.
    My theory: We both text in English and Spanish, therefore we have two keyboards loaded on the iphone, so we can switch easily. I have a feeling the special characters in the spanish language is what deters people with other phones/different network to receive them properly. I will switch my keyboard back to English only and post my results.

  • When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

    When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

    Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.

  • My text messages to iphones are not sending as imessages.  Instead I have to copy and then send as text messages.

    Over the last couple of weeks, when I try to send someone an imessage, it won't sent and instead I have to click on the message and choose the option, 'send as text message'.  I haven't changed any of the settings other than install ios7.  Please help.

    Hi,
    This issue is usually caused by some anti-virus programs, disable the anti-virus program you have on the PC, check if this issue will happen again.
    You may also run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem viewing html emails in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue. Some security programs may have such add-ins intergrated with Outlook.
