Assuming your device is up to date

Performed a hard reset (press and release volume up, press and release volume down, then hold power button until device goes dark)

Checked all your messages including the recently deleted


Try to turn off badges and turn it back on using go to Settings > Notifications > Messages, and turn off Badges.


If that doesn't work ask Siri to mark all unread messages as read.


worst case scenario I would recommend backing up device and restoring device.
