How do I remove the unread notification indicator in messenger in android 7.0

[AC Question]

The indicator won't go away even after I have read the messages it just keeps getting bigger

Same thing happened on my droid turbo 2, I just made Facebook messenger my default for now and they went away

I am having this issue too on my moto z. I had this issue before too. I enabled the verizon messages app and read them from there, that fixed it last time but made it worse when I tried it this time around
