No Unread Notification on App Icon & Notification Swipe = read messages?
ust downloaded Textra and love the app, but 2 things are preventing me from making it the default app.
1) When I get a text, if I swipe away the notification, why does it count that swipe as a read message? How can I swipe away the notification without it marking the message as read?
2) Unlike the Samsung default messaging app, the Textra icon doesn't display the number of unread messages. So I have to go into the app to see how many unread messages there are, if any.
How can I change this?

That’s a good question, and it depends a lot on how your phone handles notifications. On some devices, swiping a notification away doesn’t always mark the message as read inside the app, which can cause the unread badge to stick around. I’ve run into this with game and chat apps where background syncing is aggressive. I found a helpful breakdown of how notification behavior works across different Android versions here https://getshadowfight2apk.com/ it explains why this happens and what settings usually fix it.
