Apple watch notification showing unread message My Apple Watch is showing that I have an unread message but I don’t. And before anyone comments, no I didn’t read a message on my phone and not the watch. I already know if you delete or read a message on the iphone it can still show on the watch so I always open it on both. I deleted all messages from my watch and I don’t have anything unread. I turned it off and mirrored/resynced to my phone multiple times and it still shows this. This isn’t the first time this has happened I have to deal with this at least once a month. Why does this continue to happen and is there a way to stop this?

Cannot remove message notifications from Apple Watch My SE Apple Watch continues to display a message notification number even though there are no new messages. I have tried rebooting my iphone 13 and the watch, which is set to mirror my iphone. Ideas?

Apple Watch - Unread Message Count Using a Messages complication on my Apple Watch, the Unread count often shows higher than that on my iPhone. I usually read messages on my iPhone, but they often show as Unread on the Watch. To fix this, I have to go in to manually read all messages on the Watch. This can be a pain not only because I have to read the same message twice, but also if I haven't fixed the issue in a while, scrolling down to find the message can be a bear. I already have Message Notifications set to Mirror My iPhone, as was suggested in this thread: Text messages - Apple Community All devices are constantly up-to-date, and regularly restarted. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

A force restart might fix it. Hold the crown and the button below it down until the watch restarts.

Restarting the watch did clear the message but it came back about 3 hours later! Very annoying.

I got one, too! It was driving me crazy trying to find out who sent the message, to which I cannot respond, and is not on any of my other devices. I'm glad to know I don't have some computer wizard stalker, LOL! My guess is it will disappear by tomorrow.
