What exactly makes you think you have 2 iMessage accounts?

Settings ➜ Messages ➜ Send & Receive ➜ Apple Id can only have one account signed in at a time.


Email accounts added to the contacts App for contacts do not make different messages account. Just provide an additional source of contacts.


You can go to Settings ➜ Contacts ➜ Accounts and check which email accounts you have set up there.
