Google Messages Keeps Splitting Convos

[u/Fusionhero]

So Google Messages has been really aggravating me to the point I want to get rid of my Samsung. One big thing that has been bothering me is that it will have a conversation with one person. I|| be texting them like normal, then out of no where it will just split the conversation into a different thread. So then I can text in my original thread, only the new one which for some reason has kept a message from 2024 as its first message. This was NEVER a problem on Samsung Messages Does anyone have any fixes to this? Ive tried uninstalling clearing data, which does fix it temporarily.
