Hi oMuMo,
Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.
If you’re experiencing issues with notifications on your iPhone, check out the notifications settings for each app. Here's how:
- Tap Settings > Notifications.
- Select one of the apps you're experiencing this with.
- Verify Badges is enabled for each app you'd like to see it with.
If that doesn't help resolve this, try some troubleshooting with the apps. Use the steps below for guidance:
1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
This information is provided in If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.
Take care.
