iPhone removing reactions on its own SMS

So recently my iPhone just starts removing reactions (heart, exclamation, etc. ) that do not even exist on its own. And it just keeps removing them. Therefore it keeps sending people with green text (SMS) messages of removal. It did it like 40 times in one minute. It also just keeps adding the message like this, getting. Longer every time: “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Removed a heart from “Sweet we just got his car seat too.””””””””””””””””””””

Hey LindseyLouu,


We see your iPhone has unexpectedly started attempting to remove Tapbacks that don't exist from SMS contacts and in turn sends them a chain of messages like the one you've posted, is that correct?


To clarify, does this happen with only one contact, or one specific group chat? Also, do you recall any changes to your iPhone prior to this behavior? Such as an update, or a new app installed, etc?


Let us know and we'll continue from there.


Cheers!
