messages openning automatically iPhone

Go to Settings/Notificartions/Messages and change the settings for Preview and alert styles.

thank you but that didn't fix it. Maybe I'm not explaining it right...the badge will have one new message...and when I press it it automatically opens the message. I remmeber it going to the list (preview) view before. Not sure why it's not doing this anymore...

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo comes back?

You will not lose data, but it can cure some glitches.

yes and it still does the same thing! so annoying! I am guessing it is a software glitch... :/
