iOS 7 Missed Notifications won't clear in the Missed section of Notification Center

I've litterally tried everything! Anytime I get a missed call it shows up under the missed section of notification center. I then tap it and call the person back but afterwards it still stays in the Missed section of Notification Center, it does not clear after I acknowledged it. This is clearly a bug, but it doesnt happen on other people's iphone (JUST MINE!) I've tried every possibility...I had my phone swapped out, Restored my phone as a NEW iphone and I even created a brand new iCloud email address for my contacts...the only thing i can possibly think is that it has something to do with my apple id or something. because the only time i don't have the issue is when i restore my phone my phone as a NEW iphone and i DONT log onto my apple id then the issue wont occur, but i need my apple id logged in for all my purchases and what not. So im thinking it has something to do with my @icloud.com address. I looked online and saw some other people were having a similar issue, and yes when i restart my phone the missed calls clear, but i should not have to do this every single time i want to get rid of a notificaion. If anyone at Apple is reading this.....PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. Does anybody out there have a fix?

P.S. I am using a brand new iphone 5s running the newest version of iOS (7.0.2)

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.2

With the iPhone 7 iOS 10.3.2 the same issue. The number of missed calls stayed with the phone app icon as wel. I finally got rid of it opening the phone app, missed calls tab, swiped left to remove that missed call.

I have the same issue. It is a bug that apple needs to address. I have realised what causes the problem is that. When you open the Phone app and view the missed calls. This removes the missed calls from the Notification Center "All" tab, but the Missed Call stays in the "Missed" tab. Few quick fixes I have tried is. Clearing the missed calls from Notification Center "All" tab before accesing the Phone app. Then going to the Phone app to call the people back. Also you can clear the Missed Calls from "Misses" tab by going to Settings>Notification Center>Phone then turn OFF then turn ON "Show in Notification Center" Hope this helps.

Do you have an iPhone 5s? Cause from process of elimination this bug seems to go away when I delete my fingerprint and pass code from my phone

Yes, I do have the 5S. If that is the case, then just turning off "Show on Lock Screen" in Settings>Notification Center>Phone should eliminate the problem. I am no iOS expert, but that to me seems could be linked with the touch id and passcode. But there might be more to it than that. Just my 2¢.

Just checked. And it seems to be the bug. Turning off "Show on Lock Screen" takes care of it. I can live with this until apple fixes it with an update.

It's a BUG.

I have the same problem on iphone 5 with ios 7.0.4
When I get several missed calls the lock screen with the notification of the call tilts. I can't go back or cancel or do anything. The only thing is to power off the phone. It's annoying.

Please fix this bug

The solution I used was look through your messages for a text that was NOT DELIVERED. it will be marked with a red exclamation mark. Delete that text.

For me the only thing to do was to ask Siri to open an application. For example ask her to open Whatsapp and your screen will be unlock. Beware that if you have a "passcode lock" this won't work

Hi,

This happens to me too. I have a 5S running iOS 7.0.4 and for me, the notification only stays on my phone for 24 full hours, then goes away. Still, during those 24 hours I acknowledge the call, tap to call the person back (only if I know the number), and even clear my call history. Nothing.

Maybe the best thing to do is just leave it?

Fixed already. Just delete all contact from your SIM. Go to Settings > Phone > SIM Application then delete all contacts from SIM. That's it ! 🙂

DO NOT DO THAT. Stupid thing to do.

Who will delete all contacts for something that has not nothing to do? Don't do what Peter Bang said.

I had the same problem today with the notification not going away. I happened to be in the middle of sending a text message when the phone began installing an update. I never did finish that message. When the phone was done updating, the notification was on and wouldn't go away. So what I did was, in Messages, go to the person that I was sending the message to when the update started, tap and hold one of the messages, select More... and then select delete all. This worked for me.
