Hi there daren hill,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some third-party apps that you no longer see a notification for when you get a message. We'll include some things to check, but do also have some clarifying questions.
Are you referring to the notification badge or a dot within each app?
Do you notice any notification issues with other apps?
Check your notification settings, if the issue is with the notification badge not within the app:
Change notification settings on iPhone
If the issue is more with a dot to notify you of a message once the app is launched, you may need to check that app. First, make sure you've installed any app updates:
How to manually update apps on your Apple device
You may need to uninstall, then reinstall the apps:
Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Finally, if all those steps still do not resolve the issue, we'd recommend reaching out to the app developer if it is still only the Messenger app for Facebook and Instagram:

Take care.
