Why do my text messages show up twice?

[Android Central Question]

Everything I text shows up twice on my screen. No one has said they receive them twice though. The double text then goes away. ??

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone, and which messaging app? Are you seeing that in the conversation thread, or somewhere else?

I am also showing 2 texts. I have a Samsung j7 perx and I'm using Messenger. This is in the conversation thread whether a text or a photo sent.

Welcome to Android Central! Is "Messenger" the stock Samsung app, or Facebook Messenger? Does your duplicate text also disappear after a short time, like the OP mentioned?

Duplication in Messenger, how can I stop it

I have the Note 9 and everytime I send a message, I end up with a duplucation of the text. It only appears on my screen, my receipriants do not get 2 of the same message. Is there a way to stop it, it's doing my head in. Only had phone for 4 days.

Re: Duplication in Messenger, how can I stop it

I'm having a similar problem also with the Note 9 but my duplicates are texts I'm receiving, not all of them but various messages are coming in twice. Any suggestions?

The double text seems to happen when you send a text to a cell number. If you send s text to their Facebook account it cimes across once.

for mine it was because I had an apple sim in an android device. as soon as I got the new sim I was good to go.

There shouldn't be any difference between a SIM card in an iPhone vs an Android phone. What did the carrier tell you?
