Repeating SMS Messages

[RNHurt]

I'm having an intermittent problem where some SMS messages are repeated but without a contact name, only the phone number. It usually goes like this:

1. receive and read an SMS message when I'm away from the car (ie. at home)
2. get in the car a short time after receiving and reading the SMS message
3. after a few minutes of driving, the car displays the previously received and read SMS message, only it doesn't have any contact information, just the phone number
4. the car definitely knows this person and has their contact information

This only started recently and it only happens sporadically. I don't know of a way to reproduce it so I'm not really sure what's going on. I just wanted to reach out to this forum to see if it's happening to anyone else.

• Tesla MY - v2022.12.3.2
• iPhone 13 Pro Max
• iOS 15.4.1
• Tesla App v4.8.1

NOTES:

• I used to have an Android phone and part of the reason I moved to iOS was because of the Phantom SMS Messages bug
• This might be related to the Issue with text messages not displaying contact names just numbers bug, but it seems slightly different

This started happening to me a week ago. I have mostly the same set up as you but on 2022.4.5.21 FSD beta.

Well, at least it's not just me. It's good that it only happens very rarely, but it's worrying that it's happening at all. I know when this type of thing was happening with my Android phone it was really bad and no-one seemed to want to fix it. Tesla just kinda ignored the problem and Google doesn't really respond to support requests.
