iPhone and iPad showing unread messages even though I’m not seeing any unread message
I have the answer to this and needed to post because it was no where to be found. You need to ask Siri to read your messages.

I had that issue, had no unread messages but still came up as 3 unread.
Easiest way to deal with this is saying ”Hey Siri” ”read my messages”.
She will read the ones that are unread that you may have missed and problem will often solve this issue.

My iPhone screen did not have a Filters option. By searching elsewhere, I found that you can go into settings and enable the option to "Filter Unknown Senders". My screen now looks like the above screen. Unfortunately I still have hundreds of unread messages that "Read All" doesn't clear. The only way I've found is listening to Siri read them for hours on end.
If your iPhone or iPad is showing an unread message badge but you're not seeing any unread messages in your inbox, it could be due to a few possibilities:
I am certain some of the above would have solved the issue stated by you.
Not as helpful though, when you suddenly have 400+ unread messages that don't show up anywhere...I've already spent over an hour having Siri read the messages to get down to 300. It's painful. It's weird too, because they just came up all of a sudden and are from at least a year ago.
I haven’t found success using that technique on iPad. There’s no filter option. Pics of what I see when I open messages below.
AHHH IT WORKED! Thank you so much! I’ve had unread messages that were showing for months but I could never find where they were to mark them as read. I would have never thought to tell Siri to read my messages
Brilliant. This has been bothering me for months. Never thought of doing this. Thank you. I wish there was a way to tip. $10 bucks is a small price to pay for that annoying unread icon to finally be gone. You're a legend.
So you have to read each email of e very device for it to show as "read"???
that makes no sense, and is not what I would call "syncing"
thanks for this. Just what I was looking for — after searching everywhere else
Omg THANK YOU!!!
Worked perfectly!!! Thanks
This solution worked for me. Thank you!
THIS did the trick. Thank you!
Pure genius. Using Siri to read you your messages solved my issue!
This was driving me crazy‼️ I selected all messages older than two years and went through the rest one by one and couldn’t find any unread.
Used your “hey Siri” solution and now all is good 🙌🏼
