I have this exact same problem too!
Question marked as
I had the same problem -
Thank me later 😃
- Go to Settings > Notifications> Phone> then turn OFF Badge App button. The red dot should disappear from the phone icon.
- Check if the voicemail is working (which it should be). Call yourself from another phone and leave a message > Call voicemail and delete your message.
- Go back to Settings > Notifications> Phone> then turn ON Badge App button. The voicemail should now be working and the phone icon should now start showing the badges when you received an email.

It’s so infuriating I can get it to go away!!
See my opinion! It works
That didn’t work for me. I have no voicemails and I’ve tried forcing a restart still have the stupid red dot
I put how to do it at the bottom of this thread
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?
My husband has iOS 16.3.1 iPhone SE 2022, the red dot showed up on his phone icon but noting there when he went to open his phone with his finger print it made him put in his passcode, any suggestions?
That just means Apple is always listening. Rememember they say they never "sell" your data but they do collect it, and a lot of it. Here you can request data associated with your ID. Try it, see what they have..https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208502

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.
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
