Google to fix bug soon which redirects message to random recipient.

The glitch in Android OS which got noticed last year will soon be fixed, says Google.

This bug mistakenly sends text messages to the wrong people(random contact from your mobile).

According to the company, a small portion of android devices is a victim of this glitch.

After investigating the issue, Google said it had "developed a fix" and would be rolling it out soon.

Initial examinations confused the problem with another, similar bug - but the company admitted yesterday that some users have seen their messages delivered to the incorrect recipient.

"It took us some time to reproduce this issue, as it appears that it's only occurring very rarely," said Nik Kralevich, an engineer on the Android security team.
