Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Whenever someone sends me a picture message it will come in as if it were a group chat with three individuals. When I respond it shows my message as sent and then it will show my message as an incoming message as well. How do I turn this off?

This is because you are using the same Apple ID on multiple devices and have turned on Text Message forwarding on each device enabling other devices.


  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
  2. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone.
