From PC Mag: Have a Samsung Galaxy device? You may want to disable the Samsung Messages app's access to your device's storage for now.
That's because in recent days, some Samsung Galaxy users have complained that the default messaging app on their phone is mysteriously texting their photos to random contacts without their knowledge. One Reddit user said their Galaxy S9+ randomly sent their entire photo gallery to their girlfriend at around 2:30 a.m. last week.
"My phone sent her my entire photo gallery over text but there was no record of it on my Messages app," the user wrote, adding that there was a record of the incident in T-Mobile logs.
At this point, it's unclear what is causing the issue, but some are speculating it might be related to Rich Communications Services (RCS).
Over on Samsung's forum, a Galaxy S9 user this week complained that Samsung Messages "has become VERY BUGGY" since T-Mobile started rolling out RCS support. RCS is a messaging standard that aims to replace SMS and work on Android devices across carriers, offering iMessage-like features including read receipts, typing indicators, group chat, more lengthy messages, and high-resolution photo sharing.
