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.
