Negative one notification on phone icon

Hello kellyburris22,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, your phone icon shows that there is one notification but when you check it there isn't any notification. We'd like to help!

Below is an article that will provide steps for clearing the notification. Try the steps and let us know the results.

View and respond to notifications on iPhone

Specifically, the section below.

View, dismiss, clear, and mute notifications

When notifications appear on your iPhone, do any of the following:

Handle a notification you receive while using another app: Pull it down to view it, then swipe up to dismiss it.

Clear notifications: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, then tap Clear or Clear All.

Mute notifications for an app: Swipe left on the notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap an option to mute the app’s notifications for an hour or a day. This sends them directly to Notification Center and prevents them from appearing on the Lock Screen, playing a sound, lighting up the screen, or presenting a banner.

To see and hear these notifications again, swipe left on the notification in Notification Center, tap Options, then tap Unmute.

Turn off notifications for an app or notification group: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap Turn Off.

Change how an app displays notifications: Swipe left on a notification, tap Options, then tap View Settings. See Change notification settings to learn about the settings you can change.

Clear all your notifications in Notification Center: Go to Notification Center, tap , then tap Clear.

Silence all notifications: Turn on Do Not Disturb. See Turn a Focus on or off on iPhone.

When you haven’t used an app for a while, Siri suggests that you turn off notifications for that app.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
