It just started happening out of the blue. I go to check my messages, and instead of showing me my messages like it always does, it opens a brand a New Message that isn't addressed to anyone in particular. I have to hit "Cancel" to view messages. Not the end of the world, but super annoying. I restarted my iPhone and it still does it.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
