Weird test message notification from app this AM

Hi!  This AM I received two weird test messages from the TMobile app.  The first read "test" for the subject then "test' for the message.  On an old device, I saw a second test message come in as well - same subject and text but also had a little blue folder with black up arrow inside it.  

 

Is this happening to anyone else?

    Or devices?

     

    It probably is testing, though I'm wondering how many got multiple notifications and if any of those had the little blue icon with up arrow in it next to it. It's very small, but one I've not seen before. I've not seen  from the expected documented sources, though I spent 5 minutes looking. Maybe they are testing a new feature.

    I received the same notification. I just bought a new phone, still waiting for it to ship, but I was thinking it had something to do with the fact that I'm trading this one in. Now, I'm thinking maybe they are doing testing on all their lines.

    Thanks for the quick response. 

    It may be completely benign due to internal product testing and they accidentally hadn't disabled global messaging.  I saw this once with another product support software, a long time ago, and for them it was a test.

    Or it may be a spoof.  Might be worth contacting TMobile directly through official phone numbers?
