How to turn off app badges for Twitter on iOS 8?

Worked for me, thanks!

I've figured out how to do it as I had the same problem. Go to Twitter app, go to 'me', then 'settings' then badge app icon and turn it off.

This setting exists on the iPad but not on the iPhone.

FYI in case this happens to someone else, I went to the settings page on my phone, it was not there. I checked on my iPad, it was there. Went back to my phone, it was there! Very strange.

I have these setting even on my phone.

Im so glad I can make it behave like it used to. Thanks people for the fix.

That's strange, I'm using am iphone, I don't even have an iPad. Sorry to hear it isn't working for you, this has annoyed me for months since the update. Hope someone posts with help fron a different perspective

It is now, thanks -- I went to the settings page on my phone, it was not there. I checked on my iPad, it was there. Went back to my phone, it was there! Very strange.

I Had to go bsck to settings afterwards and turn it off like the ios before which is odd. It's like the Twitter setting allows your phone control again ahaha

Twitter fixed this bug on 10th March. Since then a fresh install or letting the app re-authorize the push notifications (for example the way you mentioned) works.

It appears Twitter new app took control of the Badge App Icon. It's internal to Twitter now. To revert it back the older way, try this:

1. Go into the Twitter app.

2. Tap on the ME icon in the lower right corner.

3. Tap the "gear" icon near the top to get into the Settings.

4. Tap Settings.

5. Tap "Badge app icon" to toggle ON/OFF.

If you turn it OFF here, then the Badge App Icon will revert back to being located in the iOS Settings - Twitter > Notifications > Badge App Icon.
