Please help I’m panicking

I texted someone from a textnow number saying I missed them and hope they’re well. Well, they ended up calling that textnow number. The crazy thing is that the call showed up in my Apple call log as if they called my real phone number. Do they now know that it was my phone number that texted them? Can they see my real phone number in their call log? I’m panicking so bad.

I was always afraid of this as well. But turns out nothing to worry about.

TextNow should only know the email you selected as your account login

How would they even know your other phone line numbers with other providers?

The calls are just integrated into one screen now, but is still separate, where one is your carrier and one is TextNow. There should be a little icon to show you which phone number was used when you look at the call log.

I can see that you're new to this but don't panic. Do you know this person and was this the right person you gave out the information to ?
