For the last few months, iMessage badges have not been showing. The contacts and groups are NOT muted. Badges are turned ON in notification settings. I did a hard restart. I’ve closed out and restarted iMessage several times. I am on the latest iOS release as of today including the rapid patch from a few days ago. What gives?
iPhone 12 Pro
In my experience, the words Apple and Support are incompatible. I might as well ask a unicorn for directions to Atlantis.
Hello geolehman,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Could you please confirm if you're getting badge notifications from other apps as expected?
Do you have a focus state enabled when this is happening? This can help you check: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
This info can help narrow this down a bit more.
Cheers!
I am. Reminders is fine for instance.
I get notifications from iMessage. Sounds, vibration and lights, just no badges
Hi geolehman,
Since your settings are correct and you've restarted and updated iOS, we recommend contacting Apple Support to look into this further.
Take care.
