Having the exact same experience here. Without question, this issue began when I “upgraded” to iOS12. This issue has been devastating and needs to be resolved ASAP. I depend upon iMessage and can no longer trust/depend on the tool to send messages to the proper person. In the same way, I cannot be sure from whom texts are actually being sent.

Cant believe they allowed this problem to persist despite the multiple complaints received during beta testing.
And do you work for Apple and know for sure that this isn’t a bug that they aren’t going to fix in a few days or weeks?
I didn't say it was. Allowing a child under 13 to use an account belonging to an adult is illegal.
Go ahead a wait for a "fix" if you like.
Same!
Everyone can see the responses. You do not have to respond with the same thing to each person.
yep. i just wanted three people to specifically answer the question about the carrier settings update... sorry - could have asked that in a different manner. have a nice evening.
probably has nothing to do with it but i bristle at such coincidences... thanks for answering 🙂
Any updates on your situation? I backed up my messages to the new Max and 2 of my friends with totally separate information are being combined.
same here
It worked for me yesterday and last night - today the problem returned.😮
Do you mean to just go to settings and switch the green button to off? Is that what you mean by deactivating?
Babypj: Thanks for the suggested troubleshooting idea but it does not permanently correct the issue. That was one of the first things the apple support engineer suggested we try.
Don't use the same AppleID for more than one person.
Get everyone their own and use Family Sharing.
Yes that is what I did
Why is iMessage combining two contacts into one thread. I can only text back the last one that messaged me. This started with iOS 12
