If you are saying:


"When using WhatsApp on iOS 27, I’ve noticed that even when there are no pending notifications, the notification badge on the WhatsApp icon does not always refresh or clear correctly.


The notification itself may no longer be present in Notification Centre, but the badge on the WhatsApp icon can remain unchanged. It appears that the app icon badge is not always synchronising correctly with the actual notification status."


Force Close the app and open it. Quit and reopen an app on iPhone
