App Library folders display incorrect notification counts

In App Library the icon shows 137 notifications. When I click open the folder, no apps has any notification. When folder closes, the number reappears. It happens in all folders. But some is correct, some is incorrect

A restart of your iPad may clear the unexpected notification badges:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
