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!
I just received a “Bell” phone call that I deleted and then was sent a voice mail that is on Chinese then the blank red dot appeared on the phone icon. Article indicated a change only voicemail password or other nefarious possibilities.
solution please
Me too.
Same thing on our iPhone SE running 16.1.2
... and we chose NOT to have a voice mail, so there cannot be a voice message waiting.
And we cannot go and check if we have a voice mail message in the different procedures proposed because we dont have a voice mail.
I have same problem
Me too
Very helpful and useful
Thank you so much it did work 👍
My message was in Chinese so didn’t listen unnerving
So annoying and unnecessary.
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.
Why is there a red? Dot on my telephone 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!
Me too. Why is there no response to this question?
