iPhone Email Badge missing in Notification Settings

I recently got an iPhone 13 mini, updated to the most recent iOS (15.4), and found that my unread email count is no longer displaying on the email app icon on the home screen.


When I checked the notification settings, the ability to select “badge” is not there. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I tried restoring and updating my phone but the issue persists.

Apple Engineers told me this will be fixed by the time iOS 16 is released but not in the current build.


I could not wait so I rebuilt my phone. Using a backup brought the issue back, but setting it up from scratch fixed the issue. It took a while. You can either restore to another iphone and use that as a template for rebuilding your phone or screenshot every folder.


I suggest you wait if you can.

Is the badge count correct. Mine came back too. I have been working with apple. Mine are gone after a restore also. The problem is in the backup. Even if I restore the backup without any apps the issue is there. Its almost all badge counts. They slowly come back but wrong. I figured out they tend to come back at the number they were on before the update to 15.4.


As of yesterday they are not signing 15.3..1 anymore but I spent a couple days testing. If I go back to 15.3.1 its fine but the second I upgrade the issue comes back.


Here is another forum

Mine started when I updated it to iOS 15.5, updated it and now it doesn’t show any count what so ever. I am a cell phone technician, own a cell phone repair shop and tried every single thing I can think of to no avail. Hopefully enough people complain to get this resolved in a new update. It’s very annoying not knowing if you got any new mail unless you open the app or turn on notifications. But that will drive you crazy with dings.
