I'm recently bought the new Note8 and went to send out my new number via text messaging. I selected multiple contacts thinking it would just send a message individually to each recipient but it did not. It instead started a full on group chat.
I've deleted it. Still won't stop receiving messages.
I've selected to remove recipients and there's no option to confirm or apply and when I back out after deselecting people, they still remain in the group chat.
Can someone help with this issue?
I've searched everything. Even ran a dark web search that led me to absolutely nothing.

I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there
Ok, after some research, it appears that Verizon is the reason Group SMS is disabled in Jelly Bean, but I could be wrong. At any rate, can anyone recommend a good tool to send Group SMS text messages that will NOT take over my stock messaging tool? I really like the stock text tool.
I tried Go SMS Pro, and it took over everything, and I hated the interface. bleh. Used it to send my group, and then uninstalled.
So, looking for a tool that will see my Google Groups, and allow me to send group SMS to those groups.
Oh, and has to be separate messages, no group chat tools. I have to send out the mass text, and receive individual replies that don't go to anyone else. It's the best way to deal with the team I'm working with.
Your help is appreciated!

I have this exact problem. Have you managed to find a solution else where yet?
Right now, I am using GroupText. Not awesome, but ok, and gets the job done. Still looking for a better solution.
Anyone have a better solution to group SMS?
Months back on an S4 I sent a group text to 3 co-workers. Now on the Note 3 whenever I receive a text message from 1 of the co-workers it shows up as a group message. I deleted the thread. I deleted the contact. It still shows a group text when I receive a text from that co-worker.
On his Moto X he is only sending me the text. Not as a group. He also deleted me as a contact and the thread and it still does the same.
Anyone else have this issue? How can I fix it so it shows just him.
I am rooted but obviously no custom rom. Using the stock messaging app. I don't want to use a different app.
This happened to me before. I went to my contacts and found the group. It was odd. I went to the contact it was doing this to and edited. There I saw the issue. I can't fully remember what I did but it fixed it. So basically I'm writing to tell you its in your contacts somewhere...You will find all three people as one. Its wired.

I got it. I deleted all the contacts in that group and readded them and deleted each message in that group thread then deleted the thread.
So Im having an issue getting group messages sent from my work. The way they send out group messages is by using your phone number's email address. So what i mean is they send out group text messages through outlook to your phone's email address which in my case is 609***[email protected] The strange thing is Im getting regular group messages from my contacts without any problems. Ive tested the outlook method and if I send myself a message it goes through fine. But, when I ad at least one other person to the message I wont get it. Is this some type of spam filter where I'm not getting the messages? Please help, I need to get these messages from work. Thanks.
Hi everybody.
I'm trying to use WhatsTasker plugin to automate my Whatsapp messages: Tasker Schedule Whatsapp message with Whatstasker Plugin - YouTube
I know this is very old plugin, but it still works fine while sending messages to individual contacts. However, I have issues with sending messages to groups. I know we need contact ID and I obtained it from mgstore.db file. Individual contacts get mesasges sent with WhatsTasker just fine. But when Im sending messages to groups, I can see in my Whatsapp that the message was sent, but other group members are never getting it. Killing Whatsapp and relaunching it changes nothing. I wonder if anybody of you succeed in making it work? Or maybe you know any other way to send automated messages directly to groups?
Ill add Id like to do it with screen locked and turned off, of course with root access.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I've found another solution with querying Whatsapp database directly (link at the bottom), but I can't get it work...
Although the OP's task doesnt work with groups, it seems that other user successfully updated it to support groups as well. Anyway, in my case the task is always end with Error 127 when running shell action, regardless if I try to send message to an individual contact or a group. I'm not sure if I filled everything as it should be... I'm not that skillful.
Could somebody try and tell me if it's working for you? Thanks in advance
