Deleted unread texts showing notifications

I’ve been using my focus modes recently and discovered a possible bug.


Id prefer Scenario 1- regardless of focus mode being turned on.


Scenario 1: Not using a focus mode.

WHEN you have an unread message

THEN a notification flag appears

IF you delete the unread message without marking it read

THEN the notification flag disappears. ✅


Scenario 2: Using a focus mode (mine specifically hides messages from A person).

WHEN you have an unread message

THEN a notification flag appears

IF you delete the unread message

THEN the notification flag remains active and does not disappear. ❌


To solve this, you need to recover the unread message AND open the message.
