Viewing shared note with iMessage question



My manager shared a note on iMessage with me. So I click it says verify this number so I do, then I get this text saying to add phone number to my Apple ID with a link to iCloud. And yes it was my managers number and yes it’s actually the Notes app being shared. I clicked the text link eventually and it opens the shared note. With a email from Apple saying changes have been made to phone numbers. Of course when I log into iCloud.com no changes have been made. I do have 2 step verification on.


Could this just be some programs interfering with each other cause the only thing that was added was a group note. I unfortunately can’t verify with someone else at the moment if this is the normal process for sharing a note on iOS 14.2 at the moment so I’m asking here if it’s normal.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

I do not see such measures as you described - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206987 to share an iCloud note.

This is for me receiving a shared note. For the first time I have ever done so. So maybe that was why it wanted me to verify my number. I have checked numerous times today on iCloud.com and on my phone and no new numbers are added or devices everything seems normal so I can only guess it just had something to do with the initialization.


The pic is a screen shot of the text after I clicked my number to verify
