My daughter cannot receive my text messages, although I can receive hers. I have no issue texting anyone else but my daughter. Any ideas?

Might you be sharing an Apple ID? If so, stop doing that immediately.


Your daughter needs her own Apple ID regardless of her age.

Thanks for the response. Actually, I'm a geezer. Daughter in her late 50's. Live in different states. Her phone independent of mine...has her own id. She's been in contact with apple support who tells her that her phone is set properly.


We both went to AT&T store with both phones. Everybody in the store had a crack at it and nobody could figure it out. Thanks again, and if any more suggestions, would love to get them.
