Cannot clear Samsung Messages notification badge anymore...

Hi, I have a verizon samsung galaxy S8 paired with the Gear S3. I use the stock samsung messaging app. Before when i would clear notifications it would clear the number count badge on the app. Now it does not for some reason. If i reset the watch a few times, i can get it working again but then after a few days it stops clearing the notifications again. I don't want to have to reset the watch everytime. Its a pain. I have tried textra and other sms apps. They have there own issues. Stock seems most stable. HELP.
