Unknown phone number in picture message

[Android Central Question]

When I send a picture message to someone in my contacts, and view the picture from the messaging screen, there is an unknown number in the top right, indicating this number, and not me sent the photo. Can anyone tell me why?

Hi welcome!

You verify with the other person that you sent the picture if your number shows up ?

The number does not show up in top left corner, or at all, on their side

Edit out your number and post again , I unapproved it do to personal information.

I see this when I send a pic thru messenger, then while in messenger, I select the sent photo. That's the only way I see it. I have no clue who this number belongs to. They're not in my contacts and no one answers when I call

This is not my number. Even pictures in old message threads I sent before I got this phone - the number is still there

Negative, I haven't had anything Facebook since 2017. I don't "social media"

This phone you bought from someone?

Amazon, used. That had occurred to me, although I thought it had been reset.

I'm thinking the previous person account still on it ?

I've seen nothing anywhere in settings to support that - am I missing a setting that would have that effect

Go to settings then account anything besides yours there?

No. Also in 'about phone' my real number is listed
