it's unlikely to be your phone, per se.


However, it might be someone else using your iCloud account - since iCloud is synced across all devices, someone sending messages while logged in on another device would cause the messages to appear on your phone.


Check https://www.icloud.com/settings/ to check where your account is logged in, and disconnect any unrecognized devices.
