Blue dot in text

There is a blue dot that stays beside a text even though it has been read by the recipient. How do I get rid of this? I have an Apple iPhone 14.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

The blue dot is to signify if you have read a message, not if the person who you sent the message to has read the message. It is possible they had read your message that you sent and replied to it, but you have not read the reply.


The blue dot should go away after you have read the message or reply.
