I am having an issue where a contact of mine is occasionally receiving a different text message from me than the one I send. They will receive half of my intended message, but the last few words will be replaced with a portion of a text that I sent a long time ago. This happens at least once a week. Let me give a quick example to show what I mean:
Example:
Text message I send to contact - "Hello how are you today? What do you think of all the snow in New York?"
Text message my contact receives - "Hello how are you today? What do ycostume for Halloween this year?"
Where "costume for Halloween this year?" will be a portion of a text I sent a month ago.
This happened on my Galaxy S3, and I just recently switched to a OnePlus One so I'm fairly certain its not my device. I called my carrier and they have never heard of this happening before, nor did they see anything wrong with my account. I only experience this with this contact, and they only experience this with me.
Would that mean it's my contact's phone? They have an Xperia Z1 and are using Textra SMS.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? How can I get rid of this problem?
Any solution?

Hello, I had the gs3 for about a week now and had no problems until today. Today my friend had asked me why I haven't text her back and I had told her that I haven't gotten any text message from her. She then had shown me her phone and it had shown that she had text me but it didn't show on my phone so I tried to see if she can receive my texts and she did so I guess the only problem is me not being able to receive text.
Has anyone had this problem before? I cant search the forums because I don't have 10 posts yet.

1st
I received a text from someone in my contacts but it had two senders.in the "from" field. I replied to the sender who had asked the question and immediately got a phone call from the other "sender" saying he'd received a strange text from me. The INCOMING text had two senders - weird. There were no links between the two senders other than they are both in my contacts.
2nd
I forwarded text to one person today and it sent it to 7 recipients. The one I sent it to received it and replied and I've not heard from the others so I assume they didn't get it, however it clearly shows 7 recipients.
On both item one and item two an error screen appeared, saying something like "could not be completed"
The only thing different recently is that I updated the OS a few days ago.
Any ideas?
Anyone having a problem where they try to start a conversation with a person and it starts it with someone different. Never had this problem with the app until this phone.
I'm having the same issue. Driving me nuts.
I'm getting automated alerts from T-Mobile (Their "456" number) that shows up as my girlfriend's name/picture. This could be a potential issue.
Yep, I had this happen the other night. Started a new message and sent. After it sent it showed another contact's name. Not cool.
Yes, i'ts horrible. I've confirmed with my friend. Seems to only be the Galaxy S6. I've switched to Textra until they fix it. Any idea what can cause this?
Just another reminder to stay away from Messenger until this gets fixed.
I just had a situation where I tried to send a message to one friend (contact A) and it ended up going to someone else (contact B). After sending, in the message view, contact B's photo was showing up next to the message, but the name of another person (contact C) was in the top bar of the message view. In the inbox view, contact C's name and photo were used. So yeah, right now this app is kind of a mess.
On my edge I've had it happen where I get a message from ATT and it showed as one of my buddies.
But I have not had it happen where I started a convo with one person and it appear as anothet.

Happening on my phone (Nexus 4) too.
The same on note 5
My ATT's Note 5 has the same issue. It didn't seem to happen until just recently. For now this app is useless for me.
This has happened twice now. The first time I thought it was a fluke, now a second time in two days I am getting concerned. I am using Google Messenger for SMS/MMS. The problem is that somebody sends me a text message and I reply to their message. My reply goes to a completely different person and the original sender never receives my reply. These are not group messages, just a single SMS.
Anybody else having this issue? I will have to switch back to my Nexus 6 if this keeps happening.
Known bug. Use Hangouts for SMS until it's fixed.
I got a text from amazon that my packaged was shipped at it showed coming from my brother. I too am using messenger. I don't like hangouts...
Yep same here, it's broken. I would say use Textra for a similar feel to messenger. Hangouts is broken too, but in a different way. It will send photos sideways if you use the paper clip in a message thread. If you use the share function in gallery it will send it fine.
I have been using Google Messenger since it came out on two other devices and have never experienced this issue until using it on the S6. I have found if I clear the app data for Messenger messages show up from the correct sender temporarily. WTF?
I came here to post something similar. I set up my dad's S6 the other day, and today he told me that if he goes into the Contacts app, selects a contact, and hits the text icon, it picks the wrong contact to send to. I tried this on numerous contacts, and it happens on all of them. If he adds them manually to a message through the Messenger app, this doesn't happen. Bizarre bug. Any ideas?
Happened again yesterday. A coworker sent me a text and it showed up from a completely different person. Guess I have to back to hangouts for now ugh...
Recurring Problem
I highly doubt the problem will be fixed soon. This bug has been blatant in all Samsung products I have had since 2007; however, it happens somewhat seldom and slightly random and the only idea I have for reproduction is:
Receive a message from person A
Read message from person A
Receive message from person B.
Open message from person B while still in the thread with person A's SMS.
reply to person B.
Watch as person A reads your reply to person B and person B never gets anything.
I'm not sure if this always reproduces it, but when I saw this happen AGAIN with my new S6 I was instantly reminded of my past with Samsung products - even prior to Android.
Same Issue--- Almost 2018 Now
I use a fully updated LG RIsio (low grade phone I know), and and the latest version of FB Messenger app for SMS. Several times in the past few months I have constructed a text for a recipient, with the intended recipients name on display as a write, hit send, and suddenly the completed text is sent to a seemingly random contact in my phone, and the deed is done.
This is insane. How do I stop this. I am gripped with the fear of something incriminating going to a family member or a coworker or manager. Why am I not hearing more about this in 2017? Most of the posts on it are from 2010. Did it never get fixed? Did it come back?
Please advise. This is the kind of oversight that can potentially ruin lives and merit a class action lawsuit.
For some reason I am not receiving all text messages . Random texts will not show up on my phone even though they show sent on the other person's phone. Getting frustrating bc I have missed some important texts. I googled the problem and it there was an article from 2 days ago about the issue without a fix available. FYI I am on the TMobile Galaxy S8+ ....anyone else experience this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
i doubt its the phone its probably a bug on your account from tmo
We need to get this to thread going. It's a big discussion topic on Reddit and articles are showing up on Android sites.
I'm with Telus in Canada. I've been using the Android Messages app. I have no idea how many texts I'm not getting but there's one friend who's asked me a couple of times if I got their text and I've said no. I've seen screenshots from them that show the texts they sent. That person actually uses an S7 with default Samsung Messages app.
There's another case today where my kid's school sends messages to parents via both text and email. I always get their messages twice. Once via text, the other via email. Today I only got an email message, so clearly it's not just texts from one person not getting through.
Just received some texts from two days ago. Not all texts, but the last few that never showed up. Maybe something is getting fixed?
As of yesterday I still have been missing some texts daily
Did you recently switch from iPhone? Sometimes iMessage messes up senders that use an iphone, and you wont get it.
On the flipside, though, there does seem to be an issue with texting anyways, or MMS. Like the videos look like ****, or, I have even seen messages that delayed WEEKS come through. For example, my wife uses Handcent, I use Samsung Message app. Over a month ago, my brother in law sent her a pic of our dog, which she forwarded to me...but I didn't get it until a month later, when she accidentally opened the stock messages app, instead of the Handcent app she usually uses. Then, I got all the damn replies a month late from the related group messaging.
This was happening to me weeks ago so is nothing new. Unsure why it's suddenly become such a worldwide issue in the last few days.
I've tried every SMS app going as well as the stock one and it doesn't matter which I use. The messages still didn't arrive.
My S8+ was bought factory unlocked in the UK and it's on the 3 network.
This definitely exists. I have narrowed my issue to long text messages that would be split into 2 or more. I have since switched to the Android Messaging app and no longer have the issue..... I would try it...
My issue existed with the native Samsung Messenger app.
