May he who has never let himself be overwhelmed by message notifications throw the first stone at us. Often, it happens to quickly delete the notification of this annoying message (very often an advertisement or SPAM by the way) rather than going to the application to open it and, thus, mark it as read. Result: the small red dot above the icon displays a number that grows, grows… Until it gets out of control.
However, there is a particularly simple and fast method on iOS 16 to escape the anxiety of unread messages. Not content with having already added long-awaited features, such as editing sent messages, or even very practical features, such as detecting and hiding pornographic photos, Apple also allows its users to make all these notifications disappear by a few gestures.
