I sent a message at 1:06pm and didn't hear back or message them again afterwards. Then around 5 pm I received this as a signal notification even though we weren't in the same location or messaging at the time. It's stayed at the bottom of our messages.

I don't recall ever setting up a safety number with this person, but if I did it would have been like a year ago. Why would this suddenly pop up now?

How do I manage the verified status of the safety number?

View the safety number and tap the Mark as Verified or tap Clear Verification button.

It looks like you might have (inadvertently?) marked it as verified?

Try clearing the verification.
