Notification counter settings for Android?

Notification counter settings for android

Hi People,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and have apps like whatsapp, facebook and email on my homescreen. When there is a new message in whatsapp the counter (badge) on the app increases. However it does not reset to zero if I click on the app and go inside the app and come out quickly (without clicking on individual chat and read the message) Is there a way that the notification setting can be tweaked such that the counter reduces if I enter the app and exit - with or without having to go into each of the chats?

I used to have a Windows Phone earlier, in which this would happen.

Please advise.

I believe that you has to go into the specific text for the notification count to go down
