Hi, KitKat758,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. As we understand, you're seeing a badge icon with the number 1 displaying when you use AirDrop on your iPhone. You're in the right place for some help!

The icon is informing you that there is a device nearby you can AirDrop content to. For more information on AirDrop, check out the following Apple Support articles:
