Texting myself

So whenever you text yourself, it should show up blue text then gray text. But whenever I do it it’s gray text then blue text, what do I do?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities, Phone-user!


It sounds like you are texting yourself and the messages show grey then blue and not blue then grey. This is expected behavior and you can check out this article for more information about how to Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


You're welcome to check out this link for Product Feedback to submit feedback directly to Apple for features you'd like to see in the future.
