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?

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!
Yes there is a bug. The red dot doesn’t display on the voice mail icon. It instead shows as a red dot on the phone with no number in the red dot. It you see this DO check your voicemail chances are you have one.
if you then delete your voicemail message the red dot disappears.
Bug fix soon PLEASE!
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.
