I am using.an IPad Pro. My home screen yahoo mail icon from time-to-time is showing a small red dot with a white number therein. This number decreases over time. I don’t know what it means. The only thing I can imagine is that my Photos are being downloaded somewhere. How do I find out what this is?
Windows, Windows 10
Hey rbdavew01,
Are you only seeing this under the Yahoo mail app? What you're describing sounds like badge notifications, which would indicate the number of messages in your mailbox. This has more information on this feature for your reference: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
To verify that these are badge notifications, you could try tapping Settings > Notifications and then tapping the app in question and toggling badge notifications off to see if the icon disappears. If it does, you've confirmed these are badge notifications and normal.
Cheers!

thank you. It was notifications.
Hi rbdavew01,
We're happy to hear you were able to get that figured out. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
