On my iPhone 14ProMax some friends are receiving my text messages with my name being wrong at the top of the message. How do I change that error so my real name shows on top of the text message? It is only happening with a select very few.
Thanks in advance,

Tap Edit on your contact card and correct the information to your contact information.
Since it shows your partners name, I'm going to assume you share the same Apple Account with your partner? Apple Accounts should NOT be shared. You each need to have your own Apple Account.
Assuming the answer to Forgetsalot’s question is “No” - as that’s the most likely cause:
What type of message?
What is the difference between iMessage, RCS, and SMS/MMS? - Apple Support
Would that be because the select few have your name in their contacts wrong.? Just a question, it’s never happened to me.
When you open your Contacts App, at the top is your Contact Card. What does it show for your name?
I don’t have my phone with me at the moment so I can’t check but there should be a button in the corner that if you click it says change name and photo maybe you can try that
Hey, thanx for the prompt response! This is the first time I’ve asked a question here and received an answer! Unfortunately, I don’t see a button in the corner of my iPhone that I could tap on. I’m gonna see if I have a photo that I can attach that explain explains it better.
thanks again McKenziedrewery
OMG, no !
It shows a photo AND my partners name !
But that’s not the name that’s being sent out …. now what 😳
