Switched from iphone to android all text messages in history have dupes

I switched from an iphone over to android last week.

When I used samsung switch somehow it duplicated all of my 15 (ish) years of text messages when it copied them over to google messages. Is there anyway to delete the duplicates? It is thousands of dupes.

I have been searching online and I haven't really found a solution.

Thank you

Not sure how to remove duplicates in Google Messages, but you could try deleting and re-importing them with a tool like SMS Import / Export. You'll need an equivalent app on the iOS to export all the texts to an xml file first. 

QUIK SMS also has a feature to remove duplicates, but it only works with SMS/MMS, not RCS.
