My friends are getting messages from me that I'm not sending.

Hey, my friends have told me for a while I often send picture messages which they can't view to them. But I haven't been sending them any messages at that time. I've gone through a new number and it still happens. Is there any way this can be resolved?

Do you have mms on? Are you sending long text's that then convert into mms messages?

A thread about accidental sending of MMS here. https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/ba-p/1014132

By the way if your friends cant view any picture messaging you send... its because they need to turn mobille data on

It must be something you are doing.
Probably long SMS as suggested.

Sorry about the above post. Friends are receiving message and I've not text them in years. I'm worried I've been hacked or something

More likely a sim card error.
Pop into your local o2 shop and get them to replace yours.

Is there a chance anyone else could have access to your phone at any time? @Tom5

Probably related to I message. Number cloning is really a little far fetched tbh.

Personally I would delete their numbers from the phone and any back ups, then reenter in the phone book. That would be a good starting point to me.

I asked that question because the same thing happened to my son (when he went through a difficult time in a relationship) His now ex partner was accessing his phone when he left it out of his sight...and sending messages to random friends..Not suggesting this is the same situation but it shows it can be done.

Is there a chance that your iCloud account is on another device in use by someone else? iPad for example? messages can be sent out like that too.
