start up Messenger or see that you have an unread message on the app, but then you click on the notification and open the app, there&#8217;s nothing new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must be wondering <strong>why<\/strong> it&#8217;s happening, I have previous experience with this issue, and most of the time it&#8217;s because the message is in the <strong>message requests inbox.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And sometimes it may just be a <strong>technical glitch<\/strong> that&#8217;s causing the notification icon to show in Messenger, even though you have already seen all the messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, this is the same reason <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techvocast.com\/how-to\/twitter-notification-wont-go-away\/\">why Twitter notifications won&#8217;t go away<\/a>. Technical glitches or the messages are in the request box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Messenger icon shows that you have an unread message but it doesn&#8217;t when you go into Messenger, <strong>this is what to do to get rid of the Messenger notification when there is no message. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using an iPhone or Android device, open the Messenger app, and tap on the menu option at the top left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll see different options from the menu, now tap on <strong>Message requests<\/strong>, and you&#8217;ll see all the unread messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s no message it means that there is a <strong>technical glitches<\/strong> or the message has been <strong>deleted<\/strong> before you open the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should know that if you&#8217;ve read all the message requests and it&#8217;s still showing, it&#8217;s a glitch. You&#8217;ll just have to delete and reinstall the Messenger app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To fix this you can ask someone to send you a message<\/strong>, during this time log out and log in back to your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-messenger-say-unread-messages\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-does-messenger-say-unread-messages\"><\/span>Why Does
