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 skipped the restart step and this worked for me too. Seems a bit like treating the symptom rather than the problem though?!
Just tried this solution for my iPhone 12 which has had the same issue after updating to ios16 and it worked first time. Thanks for the help
