IOS 13 text messages not being marked read when notification is cleared

With iOS 12, when I cleared a text message notification from the lock screen or Notification Center, it marked the text message as read. With iOS 13 it no longer marks the text message as read when I clear the notification. Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there a setting to change this back to the behavior with iOS 12?

It’s happening to me too and it’s driving me crazy. I hate it enough to want to go back to ios12. It’s stupid when I gets alerts for road closures and appointment texts that I now have to go in and clear every single one. Nixle can send out a dozen or more alerts a day and having to clear every single one is a nuisance. If I sacrificed functionality for a stupid memoji and dark mode, I want a way to revert back. Even my music playlists won’t stay on the settings I choose. Had no problem before updating, totally regret it.
