Apparently my phone doesn't need me anymore. - August 31st 2021, 03:12 AM

So, something weird happened last night, and I figured I'd reach out here to see if anyone knows whether it was just a one-off glitch or whether I should be worried.

For context I have a Samsung Galaxy, I've had it for about two and a half years and I haven't had many problems with it (aside from an intermittent battery issue that seems to have resolved itself). I don't make many phone calls or texts, I mostly use apps or the web. I have been getting an unusually high amount of spam calls/texts recently (mostly telling me that I have a 'voicd mesadge' to listen to or a 'pakage' to pick up, followed by a link), but I always just delete and block those.

Anyway. Last night I left my phone charging in another room for an hour or so. During that time nobody went into that room, and the phone wasn't moved or touched at all. But when I picked it up, I had a text from a family member in response to a message from half an hour ago. Needless to say I did not send that message, and there's nobody else who could have. It was a very generic message (think the suggested responses you get after typing out an email) and kind of made sense as a response, and it also sounded like something that I would have written. Except I didn't.

The only thing I can think is that I did write that message, ages ago, and it somehow never went through until now? I don't know why it would have gone through now, or when I would have written it to begin with, but I can't think of any other explanations.

So, tech-savvy friends, does this sound like a potential problem, or just a weird one off?
