Hi, Thanks for taking the time to report this. From your pictures, it looks like you have a series of incoming messages on Android and a series of incoming messages on the desktop app. What does it look like if you have some messages which were sent and some which were received?
I'm sorry I think the screenshots might be confusing. In one screenshot I have sent the messages. In the other one they look I have received them and not sent them.

In the other one they look I have received them and > not sent them. I see, maybe I was confused. In the screenshots from the phone, it says "Received", but this means the other person received the outgoing message, right? In that case, I agree that there is some issue here. Most likely it is because the phone vendor is doing something non-standard when saving messages. Since this doesn't happen on my device and since I haven't heard of it happening anywhere else, it will unfortunately be very annoying to track down.
Oh its phone specific then? Is there any way I can work on the bug?
(In reply to Titir Adhikary from comment #7) > Oh its phone specific then? Is there any way I can work on the bug? Since this is the first report I've heard about this, I think it is phone-specific. I would suggest trying another messaging app (like Google Messages) to see if the same issue still happens. If the issue is still there, then you would need to build the KDE Connect Android app from source and try to debug it by putting breakpoints in the getMessages methods of SmsHelper and see where it starts returning mixed-up values.
Okay the issue got solved when I used google msgs. I think its a phone issue then. Thanks for your help. I will close this bug.
