Samsung, a buggy sends random photos to contacts

The problem reported in the United States, may be due to an update of T-Mobile messaging protocols: images launched in the directory without leave traces


THE PROBLEM COULD be solved in a short period of time. And for the moment, there does not seem to have been any returns to Italy. However, the fact is very curious: it would be a bug that has emerged in the last hours for some Samsung smartphones. He allegedly allowed the random and unjustified sending of photos recorded in his photo gallery to contacts drawn in a random manner in the address book as well.

The bug does not seem huge, quite the contrary. Even if the "victims" have started – as often happens – to tell their experiences on the group's technical forums and especially on Reddit. This would be Samsung's official messaging app that, on its own "wanting", would have started sending images taken from the roll to a contact. Without this, the most alarming element, leaves no sign of sending. In short, the story of ghost messages. Apparently, the unpleasant problem would be related to an update of the protocol for sending text and multimedia messages only compared to a US T-Mobile operator. An update that could have created an incompatibility with the devices of the Korean giant. Among the models also involved the Galaxy Note 8 and the S9 from the S7.

First identified by Gizmodo the bug still created a lot of problems. For example, a user explained that his phone sent all his photos to his girlfriend. He only realized that after the answers received from the partner. Samsung is aware of this kind of short-circuit messaging software related to the Rich Communication Services update and explained that technicians are working on it. T-Mobile, for its part, is absolved of any responsibility
