Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

That would be imessage and not text message.
As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids.

  • How do I get a picture of a contact on my text messaging home screen? So there picture comes up next to the text message on the main screen where you can see all of your texts, if anyone knows what I mean

    Picture of contact on side of text messaging view.

    See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

    I deleted a text message by mistake.  How do I retrieve and restore the messages?

    If you backed up after getting the message and before deleting it you can restore your phone and the message will be back. If not then it is gone forever.

  • TS4268 I updated my iphone 4s with both of the most recent ios updates.  After doing so I ahave been unable to send or receive any text messages(imessage) between other iphones.  everyone in my family has iphones are not experiencing the same problem.

    I have already reset the phone but still can't receive or send messages

    Your MacBook shoul NOT be too old to run Leopard. (10.5) Snow Leopard, maybe, but not Leopard.
    When you go to the Genius Bar, MAKE SURE the genius knows you are NOT up to date with your  OS. If they try to update your phone, you could find yourself unable to sync at all...
    That said, if you're nice to them, they might just give you a copy of Leopard so you can get current with iTunes and iOS. It's been known to happen.

  • 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.
    Sign out of one of the devices.

  • How can I get rec'd text messages from the same subscriber not be appended

    Hi,
    Is there a way to configure the Apple iphone so that text messages from the same subscriber are displayed separately rather than appended to each other? In this way accidentally deleting one message wouldn't delete the entire history of messages from this subscriber.
    When I launch the SMS service by pressing the green SMS button I am met by a screen that says Text Messages. On the left of this there is a button that says Edit and on the right there is one that is for writing a new message. Down the page are my messages all grouped by the originator of each messages. If I choose one I see that all messages from this source are present appended one after the other. There is also the option now to Clear on the top right hand corner. It is this Clear option I am worried about. If I choose Clear I am asked for a confirmation and then lo and behold as expected all my messages from this subscriber are deleted.
    This is a work phone for support purposes and most of the texts will be from the telephone operator (i.e. the one same number) saying we have an email waiting to be read with a subject title giving a little description. I want to be in a position so that I don't accidentally delete the entire history of messages, say some evening when I'm tired or Monday morning if I 'm a bit asleep. Ideally I would prefer that each text message would stand alone in the Text Messages window irrespective of the originator and not be appended in a group fashion. Is there a way to do this?
    Kind regards,
    M

    There is no way to do that on the iPhone. Messages will always be grouped into a 'conversation' based on the sender/recipient. Only Apple can change that behavior.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • How do you add downloaded smileys to the emoticon page in the text message

    Hi:
    I just got a Blackberry Q5 and am still figuring out how to use it. I get how to access the smileys in the emoticon menu of the text message, but I downloaded some new smileys and was wondering if there's an easy way to load them up, instead of existing the text message, loading the downloaded smileys, copying and pasting them, and then returning to the menu. It seems like a lot of effort. Like, what's the point of downloading smiley's if it's this hard to use them.
    Does anyone know how? Thanks.

    You can set the destination of downloads in your browser's preferences.  For example, in Safari, on the menubar,  Safari > General tab > Save downloaded files to:
    Direct them to a folder (like the downloads folder) and then put a shortcut on the dock.

  • HT4436 Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

    It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this.  You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.)  Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices.  If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to.  If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account.  (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod.  Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge.

  • I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
    But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
    After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

  • I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it.  I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend.  Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id?  My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone. 
    My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
    For instance:  her phone number might look like this:  (493) 305-3958
    and her email address would look like this:  [email protected]
    If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message.  Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine.  It's completely crazy!  We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine.  Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?
