I'm really confused and a little creeped out! For background, I had a close friendship with someone for over 10 years, but we had a dramatic fallout a few months ago. Now, something weird keeps happening: my phone dies completely, and when I charge it and turn it back on, it shows a text notification from my ex-best friend's number. But when I check my messages, there's no text there! This has happened twice just this week. I'm just baffled because: 1) There are no unread notifications from him, 2) There's no sign that he deleted a message (usually it would say something like that), and 3) Seeing his name pop up makes my stomach drop because I'm anxious about getting some drama-filled message, but then nothing is there, which is just spooky. Can someone please help me figure this out? I feel like I'm going crazy!

Does this happen only when your phone is dead, or have you noticed it at other times? It’s odd to think he would know your phone was dead to text you then delete it. You might want to try turning your phone off and back on, and see if the issue persists. If it only happens after it’s been dead, that’s really strange.
What phone are you using? Sometimes the issue can be related to specific models. It might just be a glitch on your device.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
It could be a glitch affecting your messaging app. If you're not too keen on taking it to a specialist, I recommend trying to restart your phone, update the OS, or even reinstalling your messaging app. Just as a precaution, it might be worth blocking him too. Better safe than sorry!
I just don’t want to pay for a specialist when this seems like a weird issue. I was thinking maybe it’s just some weird vibe!
Yeah, it only happens when the phone turns back on after being dead.
