Why can I not see new text messages when I touch the message icon in my Samsung 3 since an update

When I press on the text icon it goes to the last message that I sent but not the new messages that have come in.

Welcome to Android Central! If you tap the app shortcut icon for the Messaging app, it will typically open the app to where you last left it (which was probably the last message you sent). If you tap a message notification in the notification panel, that should take you to the message you just received. Which are you doing?
