I myself do it regularly, especially with contacts who share txt bubble colors.
I haven’t had anything that awkward happen but I felt like dying when I ruined the surprise for my best friends birthday party last year by texting the non-secret group chat instead of the secret group chat.
Even I, a younger millennial who grew up almost right in line with the tech as it grew, have made this mistake. It happens.
Honestly, maybe even more frequently when you’re adept because everything is so automatic. All it takes is a moment of brain fart to think about the person you’re texting ABOUT as opposed to the person you’re meaning to text, and you click their name accidentally. Or if they’re the two most recent conversations. Fat finger could make it very easy to click the wrong name.
Fully believable for anyone. Whether or not a screenshot of a text interchange is ever real on the internet is always up for debate, though.
And when you take the screenshot and crop it, there’s a share button at the top you can use to send it. The share screen shows buttons for your most recent text contacts, so it’s really easy to accidentally tap the wrong person this way.

I have sent a text to my dad that was meant for my brother and my dad has sent me a couple that were for someone else.
So this person and your mom is so adept at image editing in a mobile environment, file management but not selecting who to text
Taking a screenshot and cropping it is absolutely trivial on iOS, as long as you know the screenshot button combo.

But fuck me right
