A recent bug has been affecting Samsung and Pixel users, causing duplicate icons for Google Messages to appear on their screens. Android Authority investigated and discovered that this issue is due to duplicate declarations by Google, confusing the system into displaying multiple icons that all open the Google Messages app.
Users have reported being stuck with three icons after updating the app, with some managing to resolve the issue by exiting the beta program and reinstalling the app. While this bug does not impact the app's functionality, it can be frustrating for those who prefer a clean and organized interface.
Earlier this month, the beta version of Google Messages also faced a bug that caused crashes, adding to the issues experienced by users.
