RED DOT on the Phone App Icon with no number in it.

I just updated to iOS 16.1.1 on my iPhone SE and there is a red dot with no number in it on the corner of the Phone App Icon even though I have no missed calls and no messages. How do I get rid of it?


Thanks

I had a red dot on the phone icon of my iPhone 8 after the update to the latest iOS 16 version, I went to my voice mail, there were no recorded messages but the action of calling my voicemail removed the red dot.
