Why does my HTC One receive multiple texts?

[hadbole]

I ran the system update on my phone HTC One this past week.  Now I get duplicate texts from my contacts.  Why?

Getting duplicate text messages from contacts is not fun, hadbole. Since this just happened since the update let’s try a few things. Go into Settings>Application Settings and clear cache on the Messaging, and the Google hangouts' application. Then restart your phone and see if it works now.
