Red dot on iPhone

Yes, the “badge” means that you have a voicemail that you haven’t listened to, if it is on the voicemail label. If you have an unanswered call you will get a badge on the Recents label. If there is more than one pending message or unanswered call there will be a number in the badge saying how many you have. In general, badges on any app mean there is a notification i the app that you haven’t attended to yet.

Every time I make an call there’s an red dot on my phone Why

Because there should be a orange or red dot—which color depends on the background—when making a call.

If there were no orange or red dot, then there would be a problem.

An orange or red dot means the microphone is active.

Why would the microphone be active when making a call?

Because you want to have your voice heard by the other participants in the call.

I have this exact same problem too!

See my opinion! It works

I put how to do it at the bottom of this thread

I spent time on the phone with Apple support. What finally worked was making sure my voicemail was empty. And then we reset my network settings. It finally went away.

RESET THE NETWORK

The red dot on the iPhone that won't go away. Removed all phone messages. Reset the network. Turned off any microphone settings. It's still there. I have rebooted many times

I have deleted all voicemails, turned off microphone, reset the network, rebooted,

...the red dot 🔴 is still there

I HAVE THAT RED DOT 🔴. I HAVE HAD IT FOR MONTHS NOW. I HAVE TRIED SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET RID OF IT. I NEVER HAVE VOICEMAILS. NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. WHY IS THERE NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION?

Thanks but that didn't work either...didn't have this problem before updating to "ios 16.1" ....so frustrating!

No matter what I try it won't turn off the red dot off my phone display on my iPhone 11pro

It worked for me! Thanks

Since I updated iOS last week I have a red dot against the phone app and can’t get rid of it
