My Android Sent a Text I Didn't Write – What Could Be Going On?

Lol, I’d be worried my phone’s possessed! But seriously, it’s quite unsettling. If it keeps happening, consider factory resetting your device.

It sounds alarming! First, check the app permissions on your Android. Go to Settings > Apps to see if any suspicious apps have permission to send messages.

Also, consider turning on two-factor authentication for your Google account for extra security. It’s a game changer!

Make sure to regularly update your apps and the OS. Updates often fix security vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

Totally agree! Outdated software can be a huge security risk. Don’t skip those updates!

You can also enable Developer Options and check for any unusual network activity. It can help identify rogue app behavior.

That’s interesting, but does anyone really understand what Developer Options even means? Seems risky to mess with them!

Along with security settings, don’t forget about backing up your data regularly. In case something goes wrong, you won’t lose anything important.

If your phone sent messages without your consent, it could be a sign of malware. Consider running a security scan with a trusted antivirus app.

Great point! But sometimes I wonder, are we just overreacting about tech? Maybe our phones are just mischievous!
