There’s a problem somewhere, true. But if you have already deleted all the messages from the app it becomes difficult to determine why the red exclamation point still displays over the messages icon. There should be a way to clear it, right?

I had the same thing happen now.

Turns out my iMessage signed out.

I just turned iMessage switch back on and it's fine.

I've had this phone for years now and it's the first time it ever happened.

An issue with the latest update, perhaps...?

Or, it could have something to do with my internet outage from a wind storm (if using wifi).

But, it didn't happen until after my internet was restored.
