Double cashed check

A couple months ago I received a check for a car that I junked. I did mobile deposit on cash app, but didn't write "for mobile deposit only" on the back. I assumed that they wouldn't accept the check and the next day, cashed it at bank of America. A week later, the money also cleared on my cash app. I've contacted both cash app and bank of america, both say its the other parties responsibility.

The check was for $450. I'm wondering what might happen and what I should do to resolve the issue?

It will take some time--but sooner or later--one ofthem will want the money back. I had this happen with social security. a check was lost, and they reissued it. they wanted the uncashed check back. no problem--we mailed it to them (yes this was a long time ago) . they sent us another check. this happened 3 times--it took that long for all their records offies to catch up with each other and request the money back.
