Try this,

delete their contact

then

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select the Messaging App

Choose 'Clear Data' and also 'Clear Cache'.

N.B. you will lose all data / txt msg's in your phone

(don't forget to write their number down to save as new afterwards!)

r/verizon on Reddit: Text messages from my own number that just say "null"
October 1, 2022 -

Hey everyone,

Today I was received 2 text messages from my number that just said "null." This was right after I sent 2 text messages which seemed to go through just fine. I was wondering if anyone knows what this means? I recently blocked a number, so I'm not sure if that is related.

Thanks in advance!

Talk to text sent from "null" - Apple Community
September 8, 2016 - She has an iPhone 5c and tries sending me a text stating my full name and SIRI even repeats that it is sending the message to the same name she said. Then SIRI says it will send the message. I do not receive anything! And when she looks at the message it says it was sent to NULL.

Decoding 'Null' in Your Text Messages: More Than Just an Empty Space - Oreate AI Blog
March 2, 2026 - So, when you see "null" in a text message or on a platform like Instagram, it usually means the system tried to fetch some information – maybe a username, a caption, or even the content of a message – but it couldn't find it.
