How to show phone number instead of email address in Messages? On a iPhone 4s my text messages show my email address not my phone number . How do I change it everything I have read is telling me how to do from a newer phone
This is a common problem after setting up a new iPhone.


Open the Settings app.
Scroll down and select the Messages subsection.
Tap Send &amp; Receive.
Scroll down to "Start New Conversations From", and select your phone number instead of your email address.
