Update Apple ID Settings

Please someone tell me how to get rid of the Update Apple ID Settings…. I see this question was raised back in 2020, but this is a recent issue for me and it is driving me mad as I hate the red 1 on my devices. I like to clear everything as it arises!

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

Hey janarchery,

Let's check to make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version:

Check for any updates for your iPhone: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If there are updates available for your iPhone, be sure to back up the device before updating: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Also, do you have passcode enabled on your iPhone? If not, let's set one up and try again to see if you still get the notification:

Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

On iPhone X and later, or iPad with Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. On earlier iPhone models, go to Touch ID & Passcode. On devices without Touch ID, go to Settings > Passcode.
Tap Turn Passcode On.
Enter a six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.
Enter your passcode again to confirm it and activate it.

Let us know how it goes!

Best regards.

I have tried all of the above and nothing works. I still have this showing on my iPhone and both my iPads. It is driving me crazy as I hate the red numbers on my Home Screen. I have changed my Apple password. Everything is completely up to date. I already use Touch ID and I also know, and occasionally need to put in my six figure code. I understand that this is a recurring error with Apple. Someone must know how to resolve it.

I have now been unable to POST my reply because my session has expired despite me signing into this approximately two minutes earlier! I am a very fast fully trained touch typist so this took barely a minute to type!

Hi janarchery,

If you're still experiencing the same behavior after updating the iOS, we'd suggest that you contact Apple directly to investigate this further with you. You can find their contact details here: Contact Apple Support

Take care!
