So, here's a weird situation—my friend got a message that supposedly came from me. The text simply said, "end-to-end encrypted message." He even sent me a screenshot where it shows in our chat on his phone, but I don't see it on mine at all. What could be going on with this?

It sounds like a classic case of number spoofing. That means someone might have sent a message pretending to be you. What was actually in the message?
I had something similar happen! Someone pretended to be me and told my family I was missing. It freaked everyone out! Did you figure out how to handle this?
I’m really hoping this is just a glitch or something!
TLDR: You might want to check your phone for any potential hacks. It's possible that your phone was compromised or a malicious app is involved. Best advice? Factory reset your phones and check your app permissions. If the message was odd, it could have been an attempt to send malware. Make sure you're only using trusted apps and double-check permission requests before downloading anything! Stay safe!
Thanks for the tips!
From the screenshot he sent, it's just the text saying "end-to-end encrypted message."
