Why does my iPhone send me a copy of the text I just sent to my wife?

I just updated to iOS 6, and now every time I send a text to my wife, I get a duplicate sent to my phone from myself. We share the same apple ID, but have for years with no problems. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • Why does my iPhone send me a copy of Note?

    Whenever I enter a Note (in Notes) I get an email of it. How can I turn off this function? (iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0.1)
    Thank you.

    It seems you have everthing set up correctly. Allow me to elaborate. The Notes app needs a way to sync accross multiple devices. That bridge, I you will, is an email account. Basically when you go to the Account page within the app you are selecting where you want to save the notes and when you select an email, Gmail or me.com, it saves to that email account on its server as well as the notes app for you to use. You have an iCloud account enabled and that replaced your On This iPhone account select that one and you should stop getting the emails.
    Hope that helps clear things up

  • Why does my iphone send me a copy of every e-mail I send?

    I have looked at the mail settings, and I can't seem to figure out how to make it stop sending me every e-mail that I send to others, but I have the Bcc turned OFF. I don't think I can control it through my gmail account either. I don't know, if anyone can help that would be cool. Thanks.

    I know this was already mentioned but thought I would post the knowledge article as well for anyone wanting to see this information.

  • My friend has a white iPhone 4 and I have a black one. Why does hers tell her when someone's read the message she just sent but mine only says delivered?

    All my friends who have iPhone 4's that are white can see when the recipient has viewed their message but everyone I know who has a black one cannot. Does anyone know why or how I can make mine tell me when they have read it too?

    In addition to the "Send Read Receipts" setting, make sure that your phone has the latest iOS update.  It's possible that what you are seeing is the new iMessage vs regular SMS texting.  Are her messages in a different color "bubble" than regular texts?
    iMessage became available with iOS 5 in October 2011.  If you have not upgraded to that version yet then your iPhone can't use that technology yet.
    Also, note that iMessage only works with other iPhone (or iOS 5) users for which you have good contact information entered.  Here is some more info on iMessage:

  • Why does my iPhone ring when my iPad receives a text

    Why does my iPhone receive the same texts as me iPad

    Because they share the same iMessage account and the same "deliver to" address(s).  You can edit the receive addresses to be unique, but then people will need to know which one to send to to get the right device.  The whole point of iMessage is that your messages can be received on any iOS (or now OS X 10.8) machine that you set up with the same iMessage account and receive aliases.
    You can also set up the devices with completely different iMessage accounts, by using different AppleIDs to create the accounts.

  • Why does my iPhone send texts instead of iMessages occasionally?

    I will be in a lengthy conversion and I will look back at the conversation and several of my messages will have been sent as texts. These cost me a fee every single time. Why can't iMessage send iMessages each time? This problem causes iMessage to be of little or no use to me because rather than saving me money it is costing me money. Do I literally have to stop and verify each time that it isn't sending a text? How can I force my phone not to send texts at all, only iMessages to my iMessage users?

    I'm not sure you read my post correctly. I am in a lengthy conversation and SOME of my messages will be texts. Some of them are also sent as iMessages. This means that I am conversing with an iPhone and that they have iMessage turned on. iMessaging a non-iPhone would is obviously impossible. So, it is a phone that I was sending iMessages to and at some point they changed over to texts but I didn't notice because I was in a conversation and assumed they would keep sending as iMessages.  In my view, it should notify you or something if you've just sent an iMessage to someone and then a few seconds later you send another message and it turns out to be a text. It makes it rather difficult to use since you have to verify every single time your reply is indeed being sent as an iMessage.

  • Why does my iphone list our other devices in the bluetooth settings and what does the symbol at the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen mean?

    I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8.  Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8.  Why does it do that.  Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen.  What is that for?

    I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area.  If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at!  Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone.  can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

  • Downloaded IOS7 on iPhone 4, have sprint as carrier, now when another Sprint phone sends a text to my sons iPhone, Im getting a copy of the texts being sent to him.  Plus when I send a text, it shows as coming from my sons.  What's up, how can I fix this?

    I have downloaded ios7 on iphone 4s, Sprint is my carrier.  When I send a text to anohter iphone ALSO using sprint, it shows as coming from my sons phone.  When he gets a message from another iphone using sprint, I get copies of his messages.  Go figure.  It seems to be only other IPhones and Sprint users.  Hasnt' happend with android phones texting him, or him texting to androids or carriers that are not sprint.

    The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

  • Why does mi iphone don't let me edit the location?

    Porque mi iphone no me deja editar la localizacion?

    Ah, I see. The Apps tab that you are in just shows what apps are already on your iPad.
    Enable the sidebar:
    iTunes 11: Show Sidebar and Status Bar
    Find your iPad's name where it appears in the sidebar. To the left of that, there should be a small ">"
    Click that, and you should see tabs for Music, Apps, etc. THIS is where you can drag/copy content to.

  • HT201365 why does my iphone 4s and my ipad turn the "find my iphone app" off on its own in icloud?

    any help would be appreciated

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.
