Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
My iPhone XR suddenly is not showing on the main screen a number when I have a new message. This is a recent issue. I have restarted it several times and I have also upgraded the operating system and it still is happening (Or rather not happening). Thoughts ?

Thanks - I think it was Mercury retrograde cause the whole phone refused to power down but I did what you said (before you said it) and it appears to work now- many thanks!
Thanks for the update!
We're glad you got the issue taken care of and wish you the best.
