My iphone is showing in the red badge two unread text messages but I have none. Ive tried turning off/on, exiting out of the app at the bottom on the screen (ya know when you make them wiggle) hard restart, and restoring from my itunes. Nothing is working...
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
I tried everything until I saw this post, which worked!
The red badge was still showing for me even after I deleted ALL of my messages. I'm with Verizon so from my iphone I dialed #225 so that they would send me the text showing my balance. Once I received the text I opened it, then I went out, hit edit and deleted it, then went to home screen and that made the red badge showing 2 unread messages go away. There must have been unread but deleted messages from Verizon floating around somewhere.....
Same here. iPhone 4, 5.1.1, two phantom messages; killed app, restarted phone, no effect.
Same F****** thing here. Can you fix this probleme APPLE INC. please ?????????????
Iphone 4 : IOS 5.1.1.
Try going into
Settings > Notifications > Messages > and Toggle Bagge App Icon off and then back on. See if that clears them out.
It works but as soon as I turn it back ON the red badge reappears..
Try looking through your messages to see if there are any messages where you may have typed a response but not sent the message. * Also make sure there are no spaces, where it appears empty but there is a space to show a message in progress. Some users report this was the issue.
Another sugguestion I have seen is to disable Settings > Notfications > Messages > "View in Lock Screen".
Thanks for the tips but it doesn't works.. I think I'm gonna switch to Samsung Galaxie. Enough is enough
One way I solved this is I have TMBOILE & they send those free PAYMENT REMINDER TEXT MESSAGES & DELETE ANY SPAM COMPANY OR OTHER TEXT MESSAGES FROM COMPANIES . I DELETED THE TMOBILE THREAD AND HAD THREE FALSE UNREAD TEXT AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM
JoseJValenca is RIGHT. The red badge was still showing for me even after I deleted ALL of my messages. I'm with Verizon so I dialed #225 so that they would send me the text showing my balance. Once I received I opened it and deleted it and that made the red badge showing 7 unread messages go away.
WOW yes I have AT&T-- just cleared my text thread with them and the red badge went away!! Hallelujah.
Hmmm..I have Verizon also and just tried this and it didn't work for me..Still showing 7 unread messages 😟
