When tagged in a group chat or receive a reply, the ‘@‘ counter specifying the number of tagged messages does not decrement or disappear when all the messages have been read.
Workaround
Long press the '@' symbol in the chat > clear
Steps to reproduce
Scroll up in a group chat and recieve a @mention or a reply to your message, so you do not see it straight away
Scroll down and read the message
Current result
The ‘@‘ counter doesn’t disappear when the message has been read. In some cases the app normally hides it, but the badge will re-appear after some time without new replies or mentions.
Expected result
The ‘@‘ counter disappears when the message has been read.
1. The described workaround is only temporary. The mention is likely to reappear later regardless of whether "Clear" is tapped. 2. This affects other platforms, including TDesktop. The exact behavior differs slightly between clients. 3. I've been able to reproduce this on multiple iPhones over the span of several years. Wiping the device and starting fresh doesn't resolve the issue. 4. Some groups experience this issue more than others. 5. Sometimes the problem is worse, sometimes it goes away completely. The trends carry across clients--if one client is experiencing an issue, all the others are likely to experience it.
