Text message reply appears before mine

Following the latest update 11.1.2 now replies to text messages are appearing before the message I sent. Very frustrating. Also, text messages that I’ve composed are showing up as new messages in my inbox. It’s very confusing and inconvenient.

I think it's clear from the amount of bugs in iOS 11 and High Sierra that more QA employees are needed.

This worked for me, too: Settings: General: Date and Time: turn off auto time. Restart phone. Turn auto time back. Fixed previous text messages.
