Option 1:
Sounds to me like physical access is most likely. Your friend, or someone who knows them saw the message on your phone because you left it unlocked somewhere, and added it that way.
Option 2:
Autocomplete randomly added some weird stuff to your message without you noticing it, and your friend took credit for it, because that's the kind of friend they are.
Option 3:
Your draft got synced to some other phone or computer that you were logged in to that your friend had access to. Maybe you logged in on a device that they own or something, or maybe you aren't using any sort of MFA and they just guessed your password.
Option 4:

If you're interested in narrowing things down a bit, you could give more information about exactly which model of phone you have, what level of jailbreak that it's in, exactly which Android flavor you're running, the patch level of the OS, and exactly which text messaging app you're using (different carriers and manufacturers ship different default SMS apps). Also relevant would be the message you were trying to send, and exactly what got injected.
- zw123456 4y agoI have a Galaxy S21 5G with Android 13 I also changed my pin because I suspect he saw me entering it, but when this occurred he was at the other end of town so it would have had to have been some sort of remote access. I am thinking maybe phone link, which I had been using with my laptop, I disabled that. It was definitely not autocomplete because he said something that only he would have know regarding the message I was typing. He is being kind of a dick about it but I think will probably tell me if I push it but I guess part of it is I don't want to appear as stupid as I guess I am and want to at least get an idea of what it was. I also turned on face recognition so that people will not see me putting in my pin. I do not think he went through my laptop because it was turned off at the time. It has been making me crazy. I will probably have to buy him a bottle of wine or something to get him to confess :) UI Verion 5.1 Android Version 13 Kernel 5.4.219 Android Security patch level March 1, 2023 The app is called Messages, it's the default app and it's version 14.1.30.19 It was a half typed message, something like this: I put in: "Hey Dan, are you going to the comedy club Friday " but was going to put night and is anyone else going. but took a call. then he somehow put in the text area where i was typing "yeah, Jan and Steve are going too but you are buying me drinks if you want to know how I did this." So I knew it was him, I never hit send. So, he was in my phone I think.
- tcbawo 4y agoHave you ever logged into messages.google.com?
- zw123456 4y agoNo, never. HN is pretty much the only social media I use, the rest of it is not really my thing.
- tcbawo 4y agoMaybe this isn’t what happened. But I was specifically referring to the ability to pair a computer with your Android device to send/receive messages without your phone: https://messages.google.com/web/authentication https://messages.google.com/web/authentication It’s actually quite handy.
- the_pwner224 4y agoWow, that's very interesting. Please post an update once you find out what the attack vector was.
- zw123456 4y agoI will, assuming I buy him enough drinks, I am sure I will wriggle it out of him. That little F---er.

- sizzle 4y agolove this list, especially Option #4 that is not on everyone's radar but a very real issue clouding people's judgement.
- zw123456 4y agoI am pretty sure I would not have written "Hey buy me drinks to see how I did this." even if I was CO intoxicated, that seems pretty unlikely.
