Duplicate Texts notifications for the same message on Galaxy watches

[Chelle-E-Chelle]

My watch keeps notifying me of a new text message but it's just a duplicate of the text. From the watch it looks like they sent it twice, but from the phone you can see they didn't.

Couple of things come to mind. Do you have multiple text apps set to notify (Google text and Samsung text?) Or the next thought is, do you have reminders setup on your device...remind you of unread text messages every __ minutes?

[Chelle-E-Chelle]

No, not multiple apps, just one. And it's not a reminder. Like I said: it shows up twice in the watch conversation but in the phone once. Like if you go back into the conversation at a later time, you'll see it twice in the watch but the phone once.

This is exactly what was happening on mine. But if you've checked your notification settings in your Wearable app and don't have 2 messages apps notifying I'm out of recommendations.

Having the same issue with the GW6 Classic.
Never had an issue with duplicate messages in the notifications on the GW4 Classic.

I am using Google Messages on the phone and GW6. No duplicate messages there, just in the notifications.

Well, KdrewH - your comment about double notification might have fixed it.

Went into the wearable app watch settings and notifications. Sure enough, Samsung Messenger App is checked to receive notifications. Will see when I get my next text message if the duplicate notifications is fixed. I think it will be!! If Google Messages is my default app, then Samsung needs to not be sending notifications. Samsung Messages on the phone is completely disabled too! The smart watch did not get the memo.

Glad to hear that. Hope it worked!

Well, I was hopeful, but no dice. Still the duplicate incoming and outgoing messages on the watch notifications! Seems like this has been an ongoing issue from what I gather here and elsewhere. 
Samsung only does basic troubleshooting, clear cache, reset, etc. but this is all on the user side.
What has Samsung to address the issue?

Have you reached out to your carrier concerning this yet to confirm it's not an issue occuring on their end, or within your network profile? Problems regarding calls/texts usually fall within their realm of responsibility to rectify.

I don't disagree however I was experiencing this too for a while and found it was a "reminder" that was set to reality every few minutes within my text app.

But I use VZ message + app
