watchOS 6.2 group text messages bug

Ever since updating to watchOS 6.2 my group text messages are not showing as a multi-person message. The group text is fine on my phone running iOS 13.4, but on my watch it shows the messages as being in the 1:1 text I have with that person.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Apple Watch splitting MMS messages I recently updated my Apple Watch Series 3 to version 6.1. However, now all of my non-iMessage group MMS text messages are coming in individually instead of as a group on my phone. So when someone replies to the group, I get their message individually and not in the group. Is there something I can do to fix this?

Group messages split after update Installed the latest update (5.3.1) last night, and now group messages are showing on watch as individual messages. Phone still has the group thread. Will there be a fix to the update? Already restarted both devices and issue is still there.

Apple Watch Messages Recently, I paired an Apple Watch Series 4 to my iPhone XS Max. All the other functions work normally, but whenever I send text messages from my watch, it shows duplicate texts on my iPhone. On my iPhone, my messages appear to be sent to myself. Is there a way to fix this issue so I don't see these duplicate messages?

I restarted my watch, and that seems to have corrected it.
