Hi The1One1,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to know if you change the phone number and email that people see when you send text messages. You can choose either your phone number or your email address, but there isn't any features beyond that.

Go to Settings > Messages
Tap Send & Receive
Under "Start New Conversations From" select either your phone number or email address.

If this is a feature you'd like to see added, you can leave Apple feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple.

Take care.
