Android Central Question

Hi all,

My scenario is simple: Say that I received a new messages notification on my locked screen (or the drop-down notification menu when I unlock), then I go ahead and clear it (without opening whatsapp and actually reading the message). If I then receive a new whatsapp notification, the previous still-unread message (from whatsapp perspective) also appears in the notification. This keeps happening where I end up having many messages appearing on the notification list, and the only way to make sure they don't re-appear with every new notification is if I open whatsapp and mark them read.

Is there any way around this, such that any cleared notifications will not re-appear, or do I have to open whatsapp and mark them read every time?

This is an intended behaviour of the app but you should have "mark as read" option now; simply tap it and it will never reappear in your notifications shade.
