Is there a way to turn off the blue dot in messages OR some way to avoid a new text indicator within messages? Thanks

Hi there ddnnxoxo14,


The only way to remove the blue dot next to a conversation in the Messages app would be to read the new message in the conversation or to swipe right on a conversation to mark it as read. The available ways to organize your conversations in the Messages app are shown in this helpful article: Keep track of conversations in Messages on iPhone


If you would like to see this changed in the future, then we would encourage you to submit your feedback about the Messages app here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Take care!
