New text message does not work
The red dot showing new text messages disappeared. The only way to see if I have a new message is to open the app. Why is this gone. I’ve checked focus and nothing is on. Very frustrating
iPhone 13

Getting the Red Dot for Messages Back:
Perform the following...
A. Enable the Badge App Icon:
B. Disable "Hide Alerts":
See if Hide Alerts is enabled for any conversations in Messages: Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If it is on, then you'll see a dulled-out bell with a line through it. Only message threads with that icon will not receive notifications. All other message threads will.

You are welcome.
Excellent job troubleshooting!
You may have made the change, or perhaps an app update allowed for this.

Thank you all. Not sure how it happened but my Badge setting was off.
