HELP! I'm being made to look like a liar!

[katebadge]

I sent a text to months ago saying "Yeah but that was years ago wasn't it things have changed. Hopefully be ok. Xxxx" I sent it to a friend on iMessage a while back. But yesterday it shown up on my partners phone and now he thinks I'm texting someone else. He doesn't have an iPhone he has a Sony. So I can't understand what has gone at all. He got the text from me but I hadn't sent it to him at all I recognise the text but it was sent months ago to a friend who has iMessage I contact Vodfone they said there could be a fault with my phone I'm searching everywhere. It's putting my whole relationship at risk all be cause of this. I have no idea what is going on! I want answers and no one can give them me.

I'm on iOS 9.2.1 but this shouldn't have any effect on iCloud backups.

@katebadge If the Vodafone store is unable to suggest anything other than a sim swap you could always visit an Apple store and speak to a Genius, they may have come across the same problem although there is nothing on the Apple forums that match your predicament.

Just as an aside, it is worth you backing up regularly with iTunes, although iCloud is handly it is not as versatile as iTunes if set to back up automatically. With iTunes you decide when to back up and therefore overwrite the old backup. I only ever use iCloud manually so what and when I back up is my choice and not Apple's.

If you do end up in Apple the first thing they will tell you do do is to install the latest ios, so it may be worth doing that . But I confess  I have not done so!

Thank you guys I will call in Vodafone then see what they say other than that I'll speak to apple

I don't see what Vodafone can do to help here. They don't keep text messages and they don't control the iMessage service. That is entirely 100% down to Apple.

Personally I never delete text messages on any phone I;ve had - never seen the need to. They can come in handy and the storage space they take up is relatively small.

Good luck.
