When i send messages through Phone Link, they get sent, but i also get them back as a received message that i have sent to myself, both in the app and on my phone. This just started happening for no apparent reason.

    Hi Pyke,

    Is there a list of known issues with Microsoft Phone link that is accessible to the public. I would have thought that something like this would affect all users so it would be on Microsoft's priority list to fix. It would also give users some hope that the issue would be addressed at some stage rather than just being kept in the dark.

    The phone link does not easy to use. A lot of confuse steps to set it up. And now, It becomes annoying for users. Microsoft should fix the issue soon.

    Same here. Been happening for a good couple of months. My messages are only going to ME - not the person who is meant to be receiving it. The radio silence from Microsoft on a known issue is very frustrating to say the least.
