Hi, thank you for reaching out.


Please go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. From this menu, you can change which phone numbers and email addresses your Apple ID can receive iMessages to, as well as which phone number/email address you send messages from.


Hopefully this helps, thanks and have a great 2024!
