Hi All,

I have a group chat on my iPhone 5s and i keep getting a notification that there is a message from one of the group members, i go into the chat and there is no message. it has been happening all day today, i have tried the following, but it is still happening:
- i deleted myself from the group and got the admin to re-add me
- i changed the group name
- i changed the group pic
- i rebooted my phone
- i got the person whose phone is sending me these "phantom messages" to reboot their phone

no-one else in the group is having this problem, just me.

Please help

Two additional suggestions:

Reboot your device
Remove WhatsApp and readd. Sounds like something is corrupted.
