Black dot? What does it mean!

I’m suddenly seeing a black dot next to new iMessages. iOS 14.6 I have my text pretty large, but not on Zoom. The last thread about this was in 2020 - anyone know what it means?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hey Kim,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you've got a black dot next to some messages in the Apple Messages app. We'll do our best to help out.


Is this an entirely full black dot or does it appear to be more moon shaped? See: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Under the section, 'Turn on Hide alerts' to see more about what we mean.


Let us know for further help. Take care!
