iPhone sending Digital Touch messages by itself

I had deleted a group message on iMessage this morning, and a few hours later, the people on the group message showed me that my phone had sent them 3 Digital Touch messages with the fireball that I never sent. Does this mean I’ve been hacked or is this just a glitch?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Could my iPhone be hacked by just sending a message? So ive heard about this device that phones are exploited to. This device that could hack your phone just by sending a message. I know apple did an security update for this but im just curious. Could this happen only when they send a SMS or also when they send a message on whatsapp and other communication apps aswell and how would we know if it happened to us? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Suddenly receiving 100s of text messages on iPhone from the same contact in a few seconds Hi there, I suddenly started receiving hundreds of unreadable nonsense text messages from the same contact and it just kept coming - 548 messages in a few seconds that only stopped when I blocked the contact. The contact is a friend and they did not send the messages (also does not show any messages sent on their phone). I'm too scared to do anything as I'm worried it could be a virus or someone hacked my phone. What do I do please? Thank you in advance!

Emergency SOS messages sent without activation My phone is apparently sending Emergency SOS messages to the people listed in my settings automatically without any explicit activation from my device. At least 6-7 messages have been sent in the last 15 mins. Is my iPhone hacked? How do I fix thiis?

One thing we do know is that you have not been hacked. You have an iPhone.

Presumably a glitch but I have no idea what you mean by fireball. Screenshot?
