iPhone 14 Pro Max Texting yourself (via iMessage) not working?

[Legion103]

Just got the iPhone Pro 14 Max - all software updates are installed and I just noticed when texting myself (it’s being sent as a text message, not iMessage)

Anyone else experiencing this? If so, any idea how to fix?

I texted myself and the bubble was green. Don’t know how to fix it though. My phone is updated too.

I have a 14 PM. If I message myself it sends as a iMessage.

Mine has now been changing from green to blue about every 15 min.

Grrrrr

I think it’s something Apple still needs to fix with an update. The last update was supposed to fix it.

First question: Why would someone text themselves? It could be an oversight because it seems, odd...

Often faster than setting up a reminder or quick note.

Interesting. Never thought about doing that. Does Siri do that or does it complain?

Never tried that. I have work Apple ID and a personal Apple ID, and I also send texts back and forth between those (i.e. myself) as handoff doesn't always work due to corporate MDM.

I responded to a text my neice sent me, and it was an iMessage. So, I guess it’s ok now. It wasn’t really a concern for me anyway. My niece and I are the only ones that have iPhones in the family.

This is something I've never thought of doing. Interesting. I can see it being useful. Yeah, scheduling appointments and doing reminders is always a chore.

I text myself all the time. Before the 14 Pro Max I was using a 12 Pro Max and encountered the same problem on both phones. Thing is, On my iPad, I get the blue bubble when texting myself. Go figure!?
