Windows 10: Phone link spams notifications for text messages that are already read

I've noticed this behavior in a text group chat on my Pixel 6 Pro. It might happen with other texts as well.Let's say I'm away from my PC. I get a bunch of messages in a group text and they are all marked as read on my phone. When I return to the PC, I get a notification for every new message in the group text since the last time I was at the PC, including all the ones I've already read. This can lead to 100+ notifications popping up, one after the other. It's super annoying.I know I can turn off all notifications from Messages, but I like being notified if I do get a new message on scree

Text Message Notification Sound

The "text notification" only plays if you are not actively looking at that conversation. The "alternate notification" (ding!) plays when a message is added to the conversation that is currently being viewed.

Here is an example:

• Your phone is in your pocket and the screen is off
• Your phone makes the "text notification" sound.
• You pick up your phone, activate the screen, pull down the action bar, and touch your new message
• You are now inside the messaging interface, viewing the message.
• IF you stay on this screen, all subsequent messages to this conversation will result only in the "alternate notification" (ding!) sound
• If you leave this screen (another app, or the home screen) your "text notification" sound will play

This behavior cannot be altered in the current version of the software. My suggestion is to either simply read your messages from the notification area and swipe them away, or else read your messages from the app and then return to the home screen.
