### 3/5 — Glitch in software?

*2021-05-21, version 5.2*

When selecting a recipient several numbers appear each one using a credit?? I’ve tried everything I can to clear them but without success. The app seems to save anyone you’ve previously messaged and send all future messages to them as a group.

*Update* The only way I can see to get around this is:
Device settings
SMS Touch
On Quit - Erase Recipient selected
👍🏻

I can see where this option would have its uses, like if you are sending many messages to the same person. What I don’t get is why if sending to different recipients they automatically become a group of recipients each costing a credit.
