As I was texting my son yesterday a text showed up in the conversation that neither me or my son produced. This included pictures from my gallery. Will someone please help me stop this?
 
Here's one screenshot

I don't know were the PNG is coming from. It's only present after uploading.

Tap and hold the message from unknown sender and a menu should pop up looking like the one I'm attaching , choose "view details"
And it'll say where its coming from, its at least the first step to figuring out if ur actually being hacked

The text is marked 'draft' so holding it down asked :discard,send and edit but has a from address of:3377. The texts sent to my son have been deleted.
 
If it says draft then that means you started a message but didn't finish.
I think you just accidentally started sending a picture message by accident but didn't actually send it, or it could be a glitch or bug .

I highly doubt you actually have a rat (remote access tool) in your phone, unless you have someone that really really dislikes you and they happen to be very tech savvy so much so they can set up a proper rat .
Just make sure not to download anything from any unknown sources and ur safe
 
I'm certain I didn't type or text any of the messages used as descriptions and comments under pictures from my gallery and I don't have a computer to generate the address 3377.
There was messages being tested to my son while I was texting him making comments about our conversation. They have been deleted accidentally when I cleared some data. No one has physical access to my phone so I feel it's being done remotely.
Thank you for trying to help me. You've been the only one to reply. You're a rare individual.
One last observation, I rarely use screen shots and noticed over 100 screen shots of various pictures from my gallery. Again, thank you for your response.
 
I think I've figured out how someone gained access to my applications. Sold my laptop about a month ago without resetting to factory.
Opinions?
