My question is why is my text messages that my wife sends to me are being seen and read by a friend that is on my contact lists?

What do I need to do to stop a friend who is on my contact lists to stop reading messages that my wife sends me

You are probably going to have to take a trip to the Apple Store, but you can also make sure that:
Bluetooth is turned off when not in use
Location Services are only turned on for those locations that you want a constant update to
Background App Refresh is turned off
Automatic Downloads is turned off
Cellular Roaming is turned off when you don't need it
Go through your Settings and take a look at all of the settings to determine if you have any turned on that may be using a lot of battery, and which you really don't need.
Cheers,
GB

  • When I send a text message to my wife, it comes across on her ipad and not her phone

    When I send a text message to my wives phone, It comes across on her ipad and not her iphone.  I want it to go on the phone and not the ipad.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

    Hi Again,
    I called my wife and she said that under "send and receive", my number was checked and hers wasn't and no amount of tapping on her number would check it.  Also, when she uncheck mine and all the email addresses, there was no more "send and receive" window.  Now what?
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them?  Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

    Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

    It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

    why do my text messages on my 4s take 10 minutes for some friends to get them?

    If you are referring to actual SMS messages and not iMessages, then you would need to take that up with your carrier. SMS is a carrier function, which uses the cellular network and they maintain it. You would need to troubleshoot with them.

  • Why do my text messages go to my iPad and not my iPhone please

    Why do my text messages go to the iPad and not iPhone when they are both switched on?

    Hello Margey,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Without doing any troubleshooting it's difficult to say what could be causing the issue of your iPhone not receiving iMessages.  Please follow the troubleshooting in the article below:

  • Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

    I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
    Any ideos how i can fix this... 

    For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

  • Why are my text messages that i am sending going thru as emails now and recipient does not receive?

    I recently synced my I phone to install the recent upgrade. Nwhen I send a group text message,  that I did previously with no problems, now some of my recipients do not receive.  They are telling me that it looks like I am sending them an email.....????? I'm totally lost.  I changed nothing on my phone other than doing the upgrade.  Any advice???

    Thank you.  I think I am on to something.  Went thru with your instructions and the receive at is my email address......my phone number is in light gray and says error.   I cannot open it to change it.

  • HT4528 Why does my text message say my emal address n not my mame

    Check Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID, set to your phone number instead of your email address.

  • When using spotlight search on my 5s it will not show past text messages that haven't even been deleted even if I type a specific word that I know is in a message I want to search for. I have message search turned on in the spotlight settings.

    When using spotlight search my phone will not show all text messages with a common word even though I have not deleted any messages from my phone and I have the message search turned on in settings under spotlight search. The search only shows the messages that are recent within the past day or so. Why won't it show the other messages when I search for them even using a specific word that I know was in the message I'm searching for.

    Hello ChiomaM,
    It sounds like you are not getting notifications for new text messages that are coming in, and you must manually check the app. I recommend checking the Notification settings to see if they are configured correctly:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    iOS apps can provide three types of notifications:
    Sounds: An audible alert plays.
    Alerts/Banners: An alert or banner appears on the screen.
    Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
    You can view which apps provide notifications and adjust notification settings using Settings > Notification Center. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • 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.

  • Could someone please tell me if it is possible to retrieve text messages that I have permanently deleted?

    Could someone please tell me if it is possible to retrieve text messages that I have permanently deleted?

    SMS's are included in the iPhone backup, thus restoring from backup will restore your SMS's, assuming you backed up your phone with the SMS's in question still on your phone. If not part of your iPhone backup, they are gone.

  • I was recently searching in my iPhone 3GS for a phone number, and the search hits revealed text messages that I have long ago deleted and would rather not have in my iPhone. How do I delete these once and for all?

    It was the strangest thing. You would think that once you delete a message off your phone it is gone.
    But in the "search iPhone" feature several key numbers like an area code reveal phone numbers of people
    who aren't in my contact list, specifically the first few words of text messages that I deleted long ago.
    I would like to eliminate these once and for all.
    Will "Erase Content and settings" do this for good? Once I restore the phone will they come back?
    Thanks.
