Email showing instead of number
So I have my phone number saved as a contact (not my card.) My messages and FaceTime are set to send/receive from my phone number only, I’m sure!. However, if I’m texting someone and I react to their iMessage (thumbs up for example), and I click my reaction, it shows my Apple email instead of my contact/phone number. But if I react to an android’s message & click the reaction, it’ll show the contact I made under my phone number. Why is this happening? I’m on iOS 18.7 and have no other apple devices. I dealt with iCloud hacker last year but I got a new phone/number/carrier and iCloud. Could this be a sign of compromise or something else?
