8jan25 - found it! Since the badges would come and go at seemingly random times and when cycling the iPhone/ipad on and off it had to be some setting that manages what you see and when; the Focus feature is the culprit. In Settings-Focus , turn it all off. There is a bug with the feature.


The Focus feature on iOS is designed to help reduce distractions by filtering notifications and apps based on your current activity or location. So the feature is not only limiting those notifications, it is also disabling the badge feature at the same time that it is trying to filter.
