Sending GIFs doesn't show the right GIFs. Say I send 3 different ones and see them before sending, when I look at what was sent it's 3 of the same... or 2 of one and 1 of another .

Not consistently but about every 3rd time it happens. And it's obvious, cause I'm sending them to my boyfriend and I've got saved searches so I go to a whole other section to pick A and then another search and pick from page B, etc. They look fine all lined up, then I send and like today it's 3 copies of A sent. And he gets 3 copies of A so it's not a visual bug on my end.

What's the issue and how to make it stop, help please?

Coming from Samsung Messages where this was never an issue in over a year, with same phones and carriers.

Edit: even better the one I sent today when I asked what he got when he got home, he showed me the 3 I sent which were what I sent. But then the last message he sent me which was two different ones I got showed on his phone the same first one twice. Then I looked at my phone again to show him I got the 2 he sent, and the 3 I sent were showing 3 GIF B instead of 3 GIF A like it did earlier in the day. WTF is this?

This never once happened in a year+ on Samsung messaging.

Is showing a message was forwarded not a thing in RCS? Was it just something phone manufacturers included in their SMS app?

Title. Our landlord sends boyfriend texts to inform or tell him to do something. He often forwards them to me if he's not home. SMS would always start with "FWD: ". Seeing as Samsung is killing their messaging app I moved over to Google Messages. In our situation it's boyfriend forwarding landlord info/requests. 95% of the time I know he's forwarded me a message she sent him, the other 5% I can tell from the context/writing that it's almost certainly forwarded from her.

Thanks. Not a big deal in this situation, but I could see it being one in other situations!
