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?
iPhone 7 Plus
I know, it appears that Apple changed the way this works with iOS 13. The strange thing is I can’t find any mention of it anywhere on the web-whenever I search I get older posts describing the previous behavior in iOS 12 and before.
Seems to be a feature change, and a really bad and unnecessary one! Far prefer to just read the messages on my lock screen. Drives me crazy to have the unread messages icon, and the only way to clear it is to go back into the same conversation I've already read. I hope they change it back.
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.
Still having the issue in iOS 13.2. Reading messages in the mail app does not initially mark the message as read. You need to view the message a second time before it is marked read. It appears to only happen with my exchange inbox. It’s driving me
crazy. I haven’t heard any mention of a fix or a workaround.
I have the exact same problem but can't find a fix or workaround. So frustrating.
Add me to the list of frustrated users experiencing this issue also. Very, very, VERY annoying.
Same problem here.
Thanks for your input. This thread is about text messages, but good to know about other issues, too.
