I sent a message to someone but it linked to someone else’s phone and sent to that phone also. Why did that happen?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

The only way two phones would receive the same message is if they share an Apple ID, the same phone number, or has message forwarding enabled, or if you accidentally sent a group message.
