Weird sms bug

[Ryano89]

With my LTE version on T-Mobile everything works great except for one thing. When I'm connected via Bluetooth, and I step out of range of my phone the watch automatically switchesnto LTE just like it's supposed to, but as soon as it does I immediately get flooded with old SMS messages from the last couple of days that have already been received and read on my phone. It happens every time. The messages have already been read, but they show up on the watch like new every time it disconnect from Bluetooth. Has anyone else had this problem? Or have an idea of what to do about it? Thank you

I don't have an LTE watch, but I read somewhere this issue may have to do with text messages being sent to both your watch and your phone. The messages sent to your watch will pop up as soon as the LTE connection is made / connection with your phone is broken.

If this is indeed the issue in your case, you should look for an option with your provider to send messages to your watch or phone only.

A toggle would even be better, so that you keep receiving messages to both devices when they aren't connected, allowing you to read messages at all times if that's what you need.
That will mean you have to read or mark the messages as read twice.

It's pretty annoying, I will reach out to my carrier and see if there is anything that can be done to stop it. The watch has a T-Mobile DIGITS line, so this is not supposed to be happening.
