Since updating my iPhone 11 to ios16.1 I have a large red dot on the phone icon. I have no messages pending, no missed calls etc. Anyone know why or how I can get rid of it?
iPhone 11
I just found out how to fix this from another site and it worked!
1) Go to Notifications --> Phone and turn OFF the Badge icon.
2) Verify that your voicemail is working by sending yourself a message from another phone and then deleting it. ( I skipped
this step and the process still worked)
3) Go back to Notifications--> Phone and turn the Badge icon back on.
4) Restart your phone, and the red circle should now be gone from your Phone icon.
Good luck!
Check and clear all your voicemails including saved ones.
My message was in Chinese so didn’t listen unnerving
Same for me. Message was there, listened and no more red dot. No msg waiting indicator. Apple seems to be borrowing features (aka bugs) from Microsoft!
But there’s a message on there that I want to keep. I have to look at that red dot indefinitely?
Me too. Tried everything thats been suggested and its still there!
Me too.
I listened to the message which was in Chinese and then after that the red dot disappeared.
Just restart phone. Went away
Why is there a red? Dot on my telephone icon?
I was able to clear the red dot on the ph icon by calling my VM which actually had 1 along with 1 saved message. Once I deleted both VM, the red dot was gone from the ph icon.
Me too. And all my phone call history had been deleted. Any ideas?
Restarting didn’t help and voicemail says I don’t have any messages!
bug fix please apple!
It did clear when I called my phone, left a message and deleted it. Still lost all call history though.
Me too. Why is there no response to this question?
very helpful! thanks!
