iPhone 11 Pro - iOS 13.4.1
A contact of mine has a Galaxy S10e and an iPhone 8 with two separate phone numbers. This contact text messages me from both phones. I want to keep all messages from the contact in one text thread and don't want to create a separate contact just for one of the phones. When this contact messages me from the iPhone I am locked into replying to the iPhone. Even if that contact messages me again from the Android or I start a new text thread and search for the contact by name, only the iPhone shows up.
Here's the kicker - Even if I start a new text thread and search for that contact's Android phone number, only the wrong iPhone number comes up in the search results!? The only way I have found to reply back to the Android is if I hit the arrow to the right of the incorrect search result and manually select the Android phone.
I can understand the iPhone preference of iPhone/iMessage over standard Android/SMS but hiding a valid search result is just wrong, IMO. Anyone know of a better/quicker way to do this? I'm surprised that this hasn't come up before as people having a 'work phone' in addition to a personal phone isn't totally unheard of.
