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

I have the latest Twitter app update, and it is there on the iPhone 5s, iOS 8.0

reset my iphone completely yesterday so downloaded latest apps and I dont have the badge icon option either.

I'm having the same issue and not getting that option in settings

My option has also gone, and the badge is annoying me, I want it off as I usually use a 3rd party Twitter app, and just have this one installed as backup for occasional use, I don't need it nagging me.

To be frank I'm not going to reset my phone and reinstall the app etc etc, that's just such a long winded load of rubbish, it should just work... it's quite obviously a problem for others... glad it's not just me.

Gotta love the entitlement! 

Why aren't you saying this to the twit developers?  This app isn't an Apple product.

I have indeedy posted to the Twitter folk too, fingers crossed eh.

However, it's still worth various people reporting it in here to build a consensus that it is indeed a problem so that as others Google to find the answer and end up here can see they're not alone.

i too am having this problem.

When did you last update the twit app?  Last update was 9/25, version 6.13.4.

modular747 I did the update this morning for the Twitter app it was about 10 minutes before posting that picture. I am also on a 5s with iOS 8.0.2. i havent had the badge app icon  choice since updating to ios 8. thanks for the help I am wonderking if I should just wipe out my phone and start over. I have the backup on my imac

Restore with iTunes (see my earlier post), first also using a backup and if needed without the backup. It's possibe that there is corrupted data/settings in the backup causing the problem.

I Set up my 5s as a brand new phone. No count option visible so restoring doesn't work all the time

I know it doesn't'  work on hacked/jailbroken phones.

Same problem for me. iOS 8.0.2, latest update for Twitter. Missing slider switch. For not I'm just ignoring it hoping that Twitter fixes this problem. But it's annoying.

I turned off badge app icons this AM for Twitter.  This afternoon I noticed that I was getting badge app icons again.  I went into Notifications and found that the option for Badge App Icons is now gone.  I am on iOS 8.0.2 and Twitter was updated yesterday, before this issues started happening for me.

To everyone else who isn't judgemental, mine reappeared by itself, not even after an app update but somehow I now have my badges back.
