iPhone sending texts to wrong contact
iPhone 6S is sending texts to wrong family member. I recently updated toiOS 12. Texts I’m sending to my daighter’s number are going to my son. The address bar even switches to his number after I hit send.

Hello, Jessicaw7!
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here. I can see from your message that your iPhone 6s is experiencing some unexpected behavior. I can certainly help get to the bottom of this.
To begin, I'd like to recommend rebooting the iPhone and testing the issue one more time. You can find the steps for your iPhone 6s here: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .
If that doesn't do it, you can also try force quitting the Messages app as discussed in How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .
If the issue is still occurring, it may not be a bad idea to delete the thread that is being affected and creating an entirely new message thread for that contact. Sometimes that can help resolve these types of issues if they crop up. In Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, it goes over how you can delete that thread. I've included the steps below, as well:
Have a great day!

To keep your messages for a certain amount of time, go to Settings > Messages > Keep Messages. Then select how long you want to keep your messages.
