The app switcher will come showing you the running apps. When you have iPhone 12/11/X, just swipe up the screen and pause in between. Start swiping the apps from left to find the messages app.

Just double click the 'Home' button and you will see all the opened apps. Therefore, we suggest you to force quit it if it is opened in the background. This could be the result of ghost message on your iPhone. Sometimes, an app running in the background for a long time can misbehave. Now keep pressing the 'Power' key until Apple logo seems visible on the screen. On the iPhone 12/11/X/8, quickly tap 'Volume Up' and then 'Volume Down'. Hold down 'Power' and 'Volume Down' buttons simultaneously and let go of the buttons when Apple logo appears. Release the buttons when you find Apple logo on the screen. To do this, press and hold the 'Home' and 'Power' buttons altogether on devices. When you find things are the same and still iPhone shows unread text messages, it's time to force restart your device. Let Siri do the job and we hope that the problem won't arise anymore now. Launch it and give a voice command to read all the unread messages. See if still phantom text message issue arises on your iPhone.Īnother tip that can be of help is taking help of Siri. Make sure to open 'Settings' and tap 'General'. This probably makes the problem vanished.

Perform resetting steps to your settings and your device's settings will return to the default.
