Why am i receiving Phone link messages that i send?

The problem is when I sent a text message, the phone link makes a new group include I and the person I send, and I received a text I just sent to myself. I have tried many methods, but it did not work. Eventually, I uninstall phone link and stopped using phone-link app on my cellphone. After that, all the text message I sent through my cellphone came back to normal.

My question is why that issue happens? and how to solve it?

Note: Before the phone link apps were useful for me to text people while I was working on desktop. But recently, it became an annoying App for me . I was worried if my message could be sent end up to wrong person.

I am having the same issue. Microsoft have made in the problem worse since one can't unistall the app and install an older version by the normal means. It is interesting that MS have NOT picked up on this bug.

I ended up going to Geek Squad at Best Buy, since I have a membership anyway. The guy had some trouble, but he fixed it. I am not sure what he did, but he reset the app somehow. He had to stop it from running in the background several times, then reset it--I think that's what he called it. That fixed it for two days, then the problem came back. I messed around so much that the app didn't work at all. oops. However, then I restarted both my comptuer and phone, and it has been working since then. *shrug*.

I any case, it should be fixable, Microsoft--or at least post instructions how to fix it.

Yes been broken for a few months now, have moved to the google message app but it isn't as good as Phone Link used to be :(

Dear Jonathon Bates,

Hello! Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand you are having issues with the Phone Link app. It looks like you are receiving duplicates of messages you sent. I understand and I will do my best to help.

Please check your app version, is it up to date? This could be a problem with a specific version of Phone Link. It could also be a problem with the latest version of the app. We haven't identified the issue yet. But there have been a lot of issues with the Phone Link app lately.

If you are on the latest version and have this issue, I would recommend trying an older version of the app to see if it has the same issue.

Go to the website hereand type in the following link, you should see a lot of different versions of the install package, select the older version to download.
