Get rid of red dot on the Settings icon

The red dot is constantly on my iPad Settings icon. Not iPhone or other devices. How can I get rid of it?

iPad, iOS 10

Question marked as Apple recommended

That is called Badge. It could be there for three basic reasons


  1. iOS update pending
  2. iCloud BackUp failed
  3. Cellular Update pending
