First, check if you have unread messages. No badges will be displayed if there are no unread messages.

Check also if you have enabled Do Not Disturb. By default, Do Not Disturb is set to hide ALL badges when the feature is enabled. You can disable Do Not Disturb in the control center.

On iPhone with FaceID, pull down the Control Center from the top right corner.

Find the Focus button, just below Screen Rotation Lock and Screen Mirroring, tap in and disable Do Not Disturb. If you have another Focus profile enabled, disable it.

If you don't have a Focus profile activated, try checking here:

Settings > Notifications > check in Messages and the other affected apps if Badges are enabled.
