Text message icon always showing "1" message

have you clicked on every contacts txt message thread aswell? if you have done everything you can best option would be to delete txt msgs

 

tell that person to send you another text message. I think that's what usually fixes this for me... I just know that has happened to me probably a dozen times, but goes away on its own later. This has been a bug for a while. I think since 4.0, but it might actually be before that.

 

This has happened to me before. Pull up the multi tasking tray and kill the messaging app. Then re-launch the messaging app and it should go away. That's what works for me.

 

If nothing else works, try restarting your iPhone. (Powering it off completely).

 

it's a 4.0 bug...when you get another message it will go away or just restart your phone and it will go away

 

yep, had the same issue with mail before and this resolved it.

 

Happens to me from time to time as well. Kinda an interesting little bug in the iPhone but unless that person sends you another text you're going to need to restart.

Funny...when you think about it...I've actually had to restart both my iPhones more often than my PC.

 

This has happened to me too a few times. Shutting off the iPhone and restarting it fixed it once. Another time, I just had that person text me again and it fixed it. But another time it didn't go away no matter what I did so I ended up deleting the text messages. Kind of a pain, but it solved the problem.

Such a bizarre bug.

 

The only way to get it to go away from my experience is to delete messages. One of the messages has a glitch in it. You will not know which one until you start deleting.
