User level: Level 1 (4 points)I’ve gotten multiple text notifications in the last couple days with no content in the notification. When I go to imessage, there is no text. Not in spam, not unknown, nowhere. No unread texts. I tried calling one of the numbers texting and got a “The number is not in service” message

Hi there
Please try this
Check Recently Deleted: Open iMessage, tap Edit or Filter in the top left corner, and select Show Recently Deleted. Empty or restore items to clear hidden cache counts.
Toggle Message Filters: Go to Settings > Apps > Messages (or just Settings > Messages) and toggle Filter Unknown Senders on and off to force the app to resync its notification index.
Restart Your iPhone: A standard power cycle clears out stuck notification processes in the iOS springboard.
Reset Notification Badges: Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages, turn off Allow Notifications, restart your device, and turn notifications back on.
