Google Messages - why two threads for the same group?

Send a group message to x,y,z
Somehow a second thread with the EXACT same group members, spelling, phone numbers gets created. Some of the responses go to one thread some to the other. Why was a second thread created? How do I merge the two threads.

Try clearing cache then force stop the message app seems like a glitch.

I'll leave a Link to register so you can communicate here as a guest account you can only post questions but can't reply

Welcome to Android Central! Check with some of the other people in that thread and see if they also see two threads.

Was this ever solved? I just had the exact same thing happen. Pixel 7 Pro.
