Messages on iPad

Messages indicates 3 unread messages, red 3 in circle on icon. I can not find any unread messages. Is there a way to clear the indication?

Hi geneprint,


Do you have your messages filter? If so, you can locate your unread messages in the unread messages tab.


  1. Open Messages
  2. Tap Filter at the top left
  3. Unread Messages


You can also select the more button at the top right of the messages ( ...) and select "Read All" located at the bottom left of the screen to clear out any unread messages.
