How to Delete hidden UNread message without using siri
My iPhone 16pro shows 1 unread message and I can’t access it. I asked Siri to read it, but Siri doesn’t see it at all so it can’t be read nor deleted that way.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
If this is a text message there is a bug in the Messages app that will sometimes show a badge with a number in it even if there are no unread messages.
If that is your situation, the badge will clear eventually on it’s own, and we can hope this will be fixed in a future release.
