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.
