Badges appearing on apps with notifications turned off

On my IPhone 13 Pro, I have a few apps that have notifications turned off intentionally. Suddenly, starting last night, I’m getting badges on the folders these apps are in on my Home Screen. The badges are for the apps that have notifications turned off. For example, I have FaceBook notifications turned off. The app is in a folder with 10 other apps. I got a badge for 5 notifications on the folder. One was for an email, which was expected. But I had no other unread emails. So, I checked every app and found that I had 4 unread messages in Facebook. After I marked them read, the badge changed to 1, for the unread email. It happened again later on and I noticed it with another app in another folder.


If notifications are turned off, why am I getting badges?? How can I stop this?


I am currently on iOS 17.4.1.


Thank you!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
