AC Question

Recently while in a text message chat with my sister, she sent me an attachment (no message attached). I tried to open it thinking she sent me a picture. I couldn't open it but thought it was related to the fact that I had turned off my data was I was about to go over and was not connected to wifi. Later I found out that she had NOT sent me that message. It was very strange as we were in the middle of a chat when I received it. Since then I have receive 4 more messages like that from "her".

In the last two days I have now received the same message twice from another friend, who also did not actually send it to me.

How is this possible?

There's more. Just after I receive the ones from my sister, I noticed that I was having problems uploading videos from my gallery to instagram. As my phone would send the video to instagram, I would get a little popup that would say "Currently unable to play this video. Stop the other video and try again". What other video????? What is this message talking about? I have tried restarting my phone, uninstalling instagram and reinstalling it, but I still get this message.

Has anyone heard of this problem before? Suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks so much!
 
Welcome to the forums. I would try a cache clear in settings>storage. Click on the cached data part, and it will prompt if that is what you want to do. After that, do another restart.
