Random texts on watch NOT MINE !!

any idea how I could have texted someone with actually texting them and only on my watch!


I saw in my watch that a messaged a “massage parlour” which set up a date and time for an appointment. This is real scary as there was multiple texts to different parlours on this same day I’m wondering if I should report it to the police or not but I think this is result of a hacker or was someone else accidentally sending messages and the carrier used my watches number. I do have my watxh and phone synced but it was not on my phone so I hadn’t noticed these texts till months after.


But I’m just scared for another situation similar to this. I’m not sure what’s to gain but the texts seem to be from a spoofed or like fake number so maybe it’s a scam I’m not sure any insight is appreciated!!

Hi Jasperadam123,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


With random messages appearing from your Apple Watch, make sure that you aren't accidentally enabling Siri with the Digital Crown. If this occurs Siri could hear what you're saying and send a message according to what it perceives is a command to send a message. Check that the Digital Crown isn't being pushed and held against your wrist or jewelry.


Check to see where you are signed in with your Apple ID. This will determine whereto the messages may be coming from a different device.
