Why are my text messages shard with another iphone

My Iphone is sharing my text messages with my husbands phone and vise versa. I did hit some type of shared question when I uploaded both our phones on our new mac computer. I wasn't sure what it would actually do. know I know and I don't want it!  How do I reset the settings for this feature?

When we added a second phone we ran into this. Each phone can receive messages from every phone number (and email address) under that AppleID. You need to go into the settings for messaging on each device and uncheck the numbers and/or addresses that you don't want to use.
Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive and then choose what you want and don't want.
You should also do this for Facetime I think. Maybe something else.

  • Why are my text messages saving on my iPhone?

    When I swipe my screen to the left and the search is on the top, text messages from months ago and also recent ones are showing up. If I type in a certian word, all of the text messages that the word was mentioned in come up. When I try and click on any of the messages, it just brings me back to the last text I sent. Is this a virus? How can I stop my phone from doing this?

    Why are you repeating the question?
    You are signed in with the same Apple ID.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

    Hi,
    why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
    Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
    Thx
    Markus

    If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
    How are you"merging" the photos?
    most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
    select one and show event to see the event

  • Why are my text messages showing up on another iphone that I sync with my account?

    I have two iPhones, both synced to one computer and iTunes account each with separate phone numbers. When I send a text from my iPhone
    or a text is sent to me from another iPhone, it shows up on my second iPhone. How can I configure to stop it?

    These are iMessages which will show on all your devices if signed into the same iMessage email address by design. 
    Settings > Messages > Receive At > Change the email address to a different one than the other phone.  If it's your Apple ID, you'll have to sign out of it on the phone you're changing (won't affect other Apple ID functions).  To sign out, tap ID at top of setting page.

  • Why are 4s text messages sent as MMS?

    I don't have an iPhone 4S, however, more than one person has sent me text messages (only text, no pictures, video, or audio) using their 4S and they are always sent as multimedia (MMS) messages instead of SMS. It seems to happen when they compose a new text, but when they reply to one of my SMS messages, it replies as SMS.
    It's quite annoying, especially since I don't have a plan with unlimited messages and MMS cost me something like a quarter a piece... for something that does not have any multimedia content.
    So what's the deal? Is this an iPhone issue, or only an issue with specific carriers? I haven't asked which carriers my friends use, but I believe it's Verizon and/or AT&T. I don't believe it is an issue with pre- 4S iPhones.

    If the sender is sending out multiple SMS's at the same time, this could be the problem. Most carrier's will send multiple SMS's as MMS...nothing a sender can do about this, except not send multiple SMS's at once.

  • 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.

  • Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

    I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
    I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
    I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
    I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
    Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

        rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.

  • Why are my text messages ignoring my iPhone and going only to my iPad both on iOS6?

    Prior to ios6 messages would sometimes go to both devices but if not my iphone would get them all. Now after i installed iOS6 is on both ipad3 and iphone 4s anyone messaging me from an iphone only goes to my ipad.  I missed two important texts this way.  Any ideas?

    Any suggestions as to why I can't see or add a phone number in iMessage on my iPad?
    I've added my mobile number to my Apple ID which I thought would flow through to iMessage

  • Why are my text messages coming through on 2 different devices?

    I downloaded the ios7 last night. I noticed that my text messages were coming through to my iPhone 4S, AND to the old iPhone 3GS that I am using simply as an iPod. What can I do to stop this?

    I have this same issue with mine and my husband's phone, but when I try to look at my settings, I can't see the Send & Receive addresses because it is grayed out, so is all settings for iCloud and FaceTime.  So anything associated with an Apple ID.  I am updating iTunes right now to see if I can fix my settings that way.  Any ideas?

  • Why are my text messages auto-deleting?

    As of 3 days ago, my text messages have been autodeleting themselves after a week or so. Now I see when I woke up this AM that they only go back to Sunday... How can I change this? I see nothing in the options or message setup that deals with this. I have plenty of memory on both my card and device for message storage. Help!

    Hi Satyrjcrog,
    The Low Memory Manager (LMM) is activated automatically when the available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone decreases to less than 400 KB. Flash memory is used to store BlackBerry smartphone applications such as messages, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, and third-party applications.
