  Hey dhardin72!  I'm sure you don't really need to see the picture you just sent - that's really funky.  Is this still happening?  Has this always happened with your MMS, or did it just start recently?  Are you using the native messaging app on the phone, and have you made any settings changes that could have spurred this?

    Hey! I tried several things that were suggested in forums where someone was having the same problem or very similar problems. I cleared the cache partition on the phone and the app. I even tried blocking my own number. I was using the native app. Nothing worked. I finally started using Textra, and it works beautifully. I don't mind using Textra at all. I really like the app, but I'm still curious as to why that was happening with the native app.

      I'm glad you found an app that you like!  Still, I'd be curious too!  Did your messages always behave like that, or did they just start auto-copying you at some point?  It sounds like you did your fair share of troubleshooting - did you ever complete a master reset, or did you find this workaround before it went that far?  If there was a settings issue somewhere, then in theory restoring the device to factory defaults would knock it back to normal.

      Resetting the phone back to the factory defaults is the best way to help with anything funky going on with the native app. That's awesome you found an alternate app but have you tested a reset recently to get your preinstalled messaging app to work?

  So I'm not the only one!!!

  I switched from Google Fi to T-mobile on my Pixel 2 XL, and using the native Messaging app, I started to receive duplicate texts sometimes. Sometimes it is when sending a pic or video, but sometimes in group messages, I'll send a text and also receive the exact text. I switched to Textra, which has eliminated the problem, but I also like to use Messaging on my chromebook, and to do that of course I need to use Messaging on my phone.

  So, I'd be interested in what a good solution is to this perplexing problem!

  Thanks!

  Does anyone have an option that doesn’t involve an additional app or reset?

   

  I have an iPhone 8 and this started about 3 days ago.
