when I text someone from my IPHONE……instead of FROM my name, it says FROM “PRIMARY”. How do I get rid of this???
You should be able to go in Settings and scroll down to Messages and click on it. You can click on Send and Receive and make sure the green check mark is to the left of the phone number and email address you want. I believe there is also an Originate from setting you should check.
Once you send a message, you can't control how it's displayed on the other person's phone.
