How to troubleshoot repeated messages on Android

Switching to a new phone can be difficult for users. They not only have to transfer all the old data to the new phone, but also have to re-log all accounts. Sometimes, they may forget the login information of one or two accounts, or have to back up all data before switching to a new phone. There are many possible problems. For example, when users turn off their old phones and switch to new phones, they may receive a series of new messages - messages that are not received when the phone is turned off.

Users may also experience repeated message problems. The same message will be sent several times from the mobile network provider. For example, your friend sent you a message at 8 am and you received the message. However, you continue to receive the same message at 9am, 10am, 11.30am and so on.
