I depend on my messaging to work properly, michaelcdavis. I can only imagine how it would be if every text notified me twice. You are with the right team to help out. We recommend resetting the Message + app. Here’s how to do this. Please click on the main settings app. Click Apps then App Manager. Find the Message + app in the list, and click on it. Click on Storage, then on Clear Data. Okay the warning, then click on the Force Stop and again okay the warning. Head back to the main screen and power the phone off. Wait at least one minute and power back on. Retest with a new message and let us know what happens.
