Receiving my own messages

Hey there Lauwal,

We understand you're receiving your own response back to you when you reply to a group message. We'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this.

From experience, this happens when you have added yourself to the group message or another member has added you. For example, they may have added both your phone number and Apple ID to the conversation, therefore, you would receive a reply to both of those. The solution to this would be to remove the Apple ID from the conversation using the steps here:

Add and remove people in group text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

You also mention that you see a green message bubble even though you're all using iMessage. You will want to make sure that your phone number is registered to iMessage by going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that your phone number does not appear in grey.

Let us know the results.

Kind regards.

instead of using an existing message stream create a new one directly from your phone contact - message yourself from there ... if it works - as did for me - delete the old message and away you go !
