At first we thought it may just be meeting chats, but now that is not the case. It is chats, in general. If you can open a case with Microsoft, that would be great as we were told that this is not happening to anyone else. For us, this is now a security risk.

Tina A Garavaglia the same thing happened to me this morning. I did a screen lock and went on a morning tea break. When I got back it looked like I had typed OMG! in our Team chat. I don't type in capitals, and very rarely use the exclamation mark. There is no explanation for it. So random.

Rj__M - I'm coming in late to this chat thread, but has anyone found causes/solutions?
Last week I had Teams running on my Samsung/Android, it was in my pants pocket on my lunch break and when I returned to my desk I noticed in Teams chat channel a large message of jumbled up text from multiple apps on my mobile device, including a folder path to a pdf document, message from Facebook and weird verbiage from Youtube around music I was listening to the day before. What the Heck!!? that was extremely alarming and a Major Security risk. For now I stopped using Teams on my mobile until I can find out what's happening and a solution.
