Why do texts from my computer show that they come from "myname"@icloud.com? When I text people from my iPhone, people receive the texts from my cell number. However, when I text people from my laptop, it opens a new contact on their phones from "myname"@icloud.com. I can't seem to fix this annoying issue.
If you open Messages, then go to Messages -> Preferences -> Accounts -> "myname"@icloud.com, you can see the option to select where new conversations are started from. For me it lists my iCloud email, my personal email (which is my iCloud login), and my cell number. Choose your cell number from this list and everything should be OK.
