How to stop text messages from being received as gmail

Hi. I have an iPhone X, and my father’s texts keep getting sent to my gmail from an address at myboostmobile.com. How do I stop this?


I have already checked my message settings, and they are set to only send and receive from my phone number. My email and Apple ID isn’t even on the list.

iPhone X, iOS 14

Tell him to just enter your number. I’m guessing that your contact he’s using is tied to your email. He may want to check your contact card to make sure he has your number or make sure that if he selects your contact that auto populates as he types, he’s picking one with your phone number, not email. There isn’t a setting that will flip that
