Won’t let me Share name and photo in messages

It’s saying sharing name and photo is not available because ICloud and iMessages accounts are different or not signed in.

Hi user_uwow,


Your Apple ID will be displayed on an iPhone by opening Settings, tapping on your name at the top of the screen, and then appear under your name.


The account you're signed into Messages will can be viewed by opening Settings, tapping on "Messages", then tapping on "Send & Receive" and will appear below the listed options in smaller text.


If those 2 accounts are not the same, that would explain the error that you're seeing. Changing one of them so that they match would allow you access to the feature you describe, ideally the one you use most or has your purchase history associated with it.


Regards.
