Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I received a voicemail and a red circle showed up on my phone icon. I went to my voicemail, listened to the msg and deleted it, but the red dot is still there. anyone having the same problem?

This is the most frustrating and annoying thing about the iPhone 6! Sometimes I just end up pressing the number on "recents" to get rid of that red circle with the number in it. Just now, I received a voice mail. I listened to the voice mail but red circle is still there! I tap on the "voice mail" icon that appears to show a reel to reel tape icon and nothing happens. Now, that I am writing this, I looked down at my iPhone and a written voicemail comes up. I try to delete it because I've already listened to it but it does not go away! This whole process is taking way too much time! I like the "written voice mail feature" but there seems to be an unusually long delay before anything happens!
