My phone keeps sending texts from my iCloud email, and I can’t change it. Help.

My new iPhone 12 is sending text messages from my iCloud email, but when I go into settings to change the send and receive, my phone number does not show up as an option in the send field. Help.

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Have you added the phone number to you Apple ID? You need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
