How do I change the phone number in settings used to send and receive text messages.
The number listed is my husband’s cell and I am getting all his sent and received text messages and mine, too.
iPad, iPadOS 14
If you’re using his AppleID then only his iPhone number will show there. You must have an iPhone to pair with an iPad in order to use a telephone number with messaging on the iPad. And both the iPad and iPhone must be using the same AppleID.
If you’re sharing an AppleID with you’re husband, you should stop doing that and get your own AppleID. Sharing one will cause trouble, and this issue would only be the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for the help. I can get this corrected now.
