I use a iPhone 7, 128 Gboard. I keep getting a pop up every now and then saying “your iPhone sent a sms”.. is so annoying. In the first place, why is my iPhone sending sms without my permission? To whom is the SMS sent? How do I stop my iPhone to send messages on its own?
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, RahulDatta!
I understand you're seeing an alert telling you an SMS has been sent. I'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.
First, do you have the latest updates installed? Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Also, what actions are you performing and where do you see this alert popping up?
Let us know this information so we may help you out.
Have a great day!
My iPhone is running on iOS 13.4.1 which I believe is the latest version. The pop up is very random. It’s not on any Particular app. It’s pops up even when the phone is in lock screen mode. I tried capturing the image which I am attaching herewith. Pls help me eradicate this issue. I’m very annoyed with this bug!!
Hey Rahul!
Since this is related to your carrier, follow these steps: Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad
Regards.
That is a Flash SMS. It is something you need to provide to your carrier. It is like spam, and in many countries illegal. Your phone did not send a message, this is just an irritating message that will popup on your device. Your carrier should be able to block these.
Question: SMS sent on its own??!!
