Q: glitch with imessage in recently used apps
I was wondering if this is a known glitch affecting anyone else.
When I go to my recently used apps view sometimes my texts aren't up to date. It will show me the last conversation I was in (which is what it should do) but it will be behind the last texts sent and what's more weird it will show a number at the top for new messages, even though I haven't gotten any other new messages. All I can think is that this new message number is somehow corresponding to the texts in the conversation it isn't showing. In fact, I had already not only checked those new messages it is showing I have, but also responded to them...the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense though for why it does it.
I haven't done a lot of scientific method steps to try and consistently reproduce it, but it happens on its own often enough to make me ask here.
In case this text is a bit confusing, here are two images as an example.
This shows I have 3 new messages (which I didn't have at the time I was actually reading this text, nor when I checked recently used apps shown here). It is also showing I exited the message app having read three messages. The reality of this screen though is the following:
I had responded to those last 3 messages, got 3 more and responded to those as well. All of that happened 5 hours before I checked recently used apps and saw what is in the previous image. I'm using iOS 9.3.5 on an iPhone 6 now, but have noticed this for several months on and off. I'm trying to figure out what is going on because it doesn't just choose a random time to be lagged by compared to what it should show, but it is in fact showing a screen that never even existed because of those new messages it says I have. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
