Hi Matthew, if you send a message to someone, your own message is not taken into account when the phone is looking for new messages. So If the Messages app is reporting "1 new message", it's definitely an incoming one. A message is only read when you've actually opened the thread and swiped to the message. Yes, you can rename a conversation if you wish, but by default it will be named with the person you're texting. whether you or the person you're texting is the last person in the thread at any time has no bearing on what the conversation is called.
