What does allow notification badges mean?
Starting with 8.0 (API level 26), notification badges (also known as notification dots) appear on a launcher icon when the associated app has an active notification. Users can long-press on the app icon to reveal the notifications (alongside any app shortcuts), as shown in figure 1.
What happens if I turn off app icon badges?
However, disabling icon badges doesn't affect the app as one will still continue getting other types of notifications, given that they don't elect to turn those off as well.
What is meant by app icon badges?
An icon badge displays as a small circle or a number on the corner of an app's icon. If an app has one or more notifications, it will have a badge. Some apps will combine multiple notifications into one and may only show the number 1. Other times, the badge may go away if you clear your notifications.
Should badges be on or off on iPhone?
If you don't want to use any other types of alert for an app, Badges can be a good prompt for you to open the app itself to read any notifications you've missed. That said, disabling badges for every app is also a great way to simplify your iPhone or iPad Home Screen.
