When I send a text message to myself, it arrives with an unknown user name as the sender. And it’s always the same name

Message: Phone Number & Apple ID not linking Why does my apple ID show up when texting other people from my MacBook Air? Shouldn't it still show off on their end that I am sending it from my phone number? Also, if someone texts my phone number, I do not get that message on my laptop. I don't understand why this is the case... shouldn't it be linked together? The Apple ID is the same on both my laptop and iPhone.

Texts from MacBook air being sent to random number instead of my contact Why are messages I send from my Mac computer that are supposed to be sent to my mom's Android not being sent to her and instead as iMessages to a random unknown number? When I started to notice this, I sent some screenshots from my iPhone, and she still didn't receive those. The unreceived messages were all sent as blue instead of green.
