New-text count not going away

When I receive a new text message and read and/or reply to it, my text message icon still has a 1 on it as if I still have unread new messages. The only way I can clear it is to delete that message or the entire thread. Anyone else seeing this problem? Droid Turbo 2, Nougat, using Google Messenger app. I've cleared cache and data, force closed, restarted, and performed a soft reset. Still keeps happening. I'm guessing it's a bug with the new software update.
