Why am I getting these phantom sms messages?

[AC Question]

I'm currently using a OnePlus 3, and I've been having issues with group messaging. The actual group message works fine, but I keep getting bombarded by sms messages that can't download. The people aren't actually sending them, but they show in my individual texts. It also seems that I can't send or receive texts when they are trying to download which is very frustrating.. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Solution?

Hi! So what you're saying is, though your contacts in your group messaging SMS conversations aren't send these messages, you're still getting random texts that won't download and it's causing a lag? Are you using OnePlus' stock messaging app or a third party application? Are your contacts experiencing the same issue?

My contacts aren't experiencing the same issue. I'm using the stock messaging app.

I apologize, I don't know much about the OnePlus series - are the batteries removable? Have you tried a restart of your phone? If you have all of your contacts and important information backed up, you could try to do a factory reset and see if that fixes anything... But maybe do that as a last resort.

The battery is not removable. I've tried restarting the phone. I might have to try a factory reset if it doesn't work
