cannot send a text as phone adds +1 to each text, I've turned off auto in settings but still no good

Hello, If your iPhone SE keeps adding "+1" to your messages despite turning off the auto-send feature in the settings, the issue may be related to the contact entry in your phone. Check the contact details of the recipient you are trying to text and ensure that their phone number is entered correctly without the "+1" country code. If the number includes "+1," edit the contact entry and remove it. By ensuring the contact's phone number is correctly entered without the "+1," your iPhone should stop automatically adding it when you send text messages.
