This is a very normal iMessage.

If you have multiple devices and have enabled iMessage text forwarding into other devices then this message will appear every time you activate iMessage.


Set up text message forwarding

  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences, then click iMessage. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
  2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.*
  3. Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone. If you're not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.

There is no place to report an incident like this unless you know who is responsible; in that case contact the police. Do you share an Apple ID with anyone? Did you ever share an Apple ID with anyone?


You can go to Settings and tap on your name at the top. At the bottom of the screen will be a list of devices that can access your Apple ID. You can find the same information by logging in to https://appleid.apple.com.
