Problem with sharing each others text messages

So my son and I both have iphones and we think we hit something when we were updating to ios 7 that made our phones both recieve each others texts. How do we get it back to normal?

Are you both signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID? If so, you need to get separate Apple IDs. Of course one of you could keep the one you are both using now.

Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

After installing ios 6 to my iphone4 and my daughters iphone4s we now get each others text messages. How can we disconnect from each other so that I don't receive the text messages from her and her friends and she does not receive mine?

After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?

Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.

How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?

How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?

To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

HT3529 My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially created it under her apple id. We will receive each others text messages from certain people not all. Any ideas why and what we can do to stop it

My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially set them up under one apple id account. When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others. Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us. It seems to be random which ones. Any ideas how to correct this

Yup, get your own AppleID.
The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

HT1386 I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.

I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.

Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

My sister and myself are getting each others text messages. Help! (Hard Question)

This whole problem started when I first got my Iphone 5 around christmas time of last year. And i did the normal activation of my new Iphone and syncing my old iphone 4 with this new phone. I synced everything and it was all good, but i started to get these random text from people in my message log. I soon found out that i was recieving every text that was sent to my sister. And if i replied to someone who was texting my sister it would show up like she texted them, not me on a seperate number. Also when i text my sister she would get the text but immidiatly after i sent her it, i would also get a text from myself saying what i sent her. I will literally get a text message from my own number to myself, (Weird ****). So its like my sisters text messaging is fused with mine. Its only messages though, no images or anything else. In the beginging i didnt care about this becasue she wasnt recieving my text i was only getting hers. But now just today she tells me she is getting my text too. And thats a problem! This problem lasted all the way up to about 2 months ago and then i stopped getting her messages. But i gave one of my friends my old iphone 4 and once they activated it for there own use it started to happen again. They use a seperate plan then i do and there number on the phone is different. Before i gave them the phone i wiped everything off of it. i took off the contacts, messages, everything. They use a different apple account and icloud account now on the phone. So idk why it started up again i need help. Here is some background. My whole family shares the same apple account with everything. We have seperate phones, numbers and data for the most part. But with dealing with Icloud and itunes anything like that, we use the same account. My sister uses a Iphone 4s btw. With my old Iphone 4 i had no probelms with this, everything was normal. But once i switched to the new iphone 5 this problem has occured. Idk what this is about, i havent heard anyone else with this problem, but i need help! btw my other family members on their phones do not have this problem. So i think it has to do something with the icloud but im not sure! This is a serious problem and i need help! Goodluck!

HT4623 is anyone else having problems with receiving and sending text messages. most people in my contacts are not getting messages that i send to them.

Make sure you have checked off iCloud contacts in your Contacts app under Groups in upper left corner.

Daughter had to get new iPhone why would we now not see each others text messages?

My daughters iPhone 4S was permantly damaged by update 2 weeks ago. Apple sent her a new phone. Now I can't see her texts and mine to her are shiwingbup in squares that look mor like code than words or she does not get them at all
He new phone was setup , according to her, using cloud by her husband.she says she has no problem with texting anybody but me
The exception is when she texted me 2 times while in the car, we had a whole conversation by text without a problem. But from home or work the problem described exists I should say I have never had a problem texting anybody but her, and only since she got the new iPhone
Any ideas as to why this would be, are appreciated help?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.
The best way to resolve this is to not share Apple IDs but the steps above will resolve the duplicate iMessage issues.

HT204053 my husband updated his phone now everyone is getting each others text messages

after updating we now have all users getting each others texts

Welcome to the Apple Community Gretchen
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

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.

Can my family use 'find my iphone' for each other if we each have separate apple ids? recently had to create separate ones b/c we were getting each others texts/facetimes and i read this happens when you share an apple id.

Can my family still use the 'find my iphone' app from our iphones / ipod touch to locate each others phone if we have separate apple ids? We were sharing a single apple id but recently we started getting each others texts/facetimes .. I read that this happens when you share an apple id. Will we just have to sign in with the others' apple id to locate their phone ?

Use Find My Friends app instead. Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it. They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

I have some problems with element Panel Label and Message.

I have some problems with element Panel Label and Message. When I create form from VO attributes then I have Label for input text element. If I use Panel Label and Message element then I need to copy LABEL from input text element to Panel Label and Message element LABEL PROPERTY. Can I define in View object that I don't need label and want all attributes in Panel Label and Message element?
BEST REGARDS

You can simply remove the label attribute for the input text on the page.

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact. All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds. Very frustrating. Any help out there?

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine. All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds. Any help out there?

As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

Problems using Siri to send text message

hi im having problems using Siri to send text messages on my iPhone 5.
When i try to send a message using Siri to somebody who does not own a iPhone Siri defaults the message to a iMessage instead of a standard text message, which then causes a message failure because the other person does not have a iPhone.
I have the setting turn on in the Messages setting to send as Text Message when iMessage is not avaliable but Siri still defaults the message to a iMessage and does not send it as a standard text message and results in a message failure.
am i doing something wrong or am i missing something?

Siri won't try to send an iMessage to a person who doesn't have a device with iMessage enabled.
If you open Messages, and select the same person with the keypad it should default to Text and not iMessage. That's exactly what will happen when Siri tries to send the message.
I just tried this on my phone to someone who doesn't have an iPhone and it worked exactly that way.
