Is there a way to make the activity feed always show unread messages only? It seems that right now it only lasts until you click on something else and you have to reset the filter every time you look at your activity feed. If I always have to sift through what I have already responded to things get lost easily.

Three years later, and there is still no sane way to organize unread messages. Here is another related thread which has a request like yours - a persistent filter to show only unread messages.

It is quite ridiculous that this is not simple to do on a portable device. I have multiple notifications in two separate accounts - all I want to do is read the unread messages and keep up to date. Surely that is the entire point of this product yet it conspicuously fails to deliver. I have a badge saying I have 27 messages but can’t simply just look at those (and their immediate context). So I have to aimlessly scroll through dozens if not hundreds of messages to see what little gem someone has added - probably some trite emoji - what a complete waste of time.
