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

I'm having this same problem and it's really annoying. I haven't read all the way down yet to see if any actual solutions were offered, but I just wanted to let you know I'm right there with you. The option for turning off the badge app icon is there in my notification settings for other things, but not for Twitter.

I have the same problem.  Any reply from Twitter?

I put in a support request with Twitter over 3 weeks ago and have not received a reply. :-(

Twitter was updated yesterday and the option to disable badges now appears.

da5384, I updated mine as well as deleted and reloaded app and mine is still not there.

I've found a workaround which worked for me for an hour:

1. Remove the app from the device

2. Set the device datetime two days or more ahead

3. Restart the device

4. Set the device datetime two days or more ahead

5. Restart the device

6. Install the app again

7. Set the date back to the actual date

8. Run Twitter (hence it does not allow you to log in with future dates)

This way the setting reappeared for me, and I could turn it off – for about an hour. After that, the settings disappeared by itself and the badges came back

Yeah same here. Alas tried hard reset of phone. No luck.

Still not yet solved on iOS 8.1

This is a huge bug in iOS. It is not related with Twitter app.

There is no badge option in notification settings of Twitter. However, iOS continues to show the badges. That's unbelievable bug! Because you don't have any control on the phone, telephone controls you.

Yeah this is really ******* me off. 8.1 still there. And Twitter support won't respond

Surely not an iOS bug. Very, very, very, few report this and if it were the ios, virtually everyone would have it. It may be a Twitter app bug, but more likely a problem with your phone. 

I don't think it is an isolated issue. Happens with several iOS apps, and does not work with a fresh iOS install and newly downloaded Twitter app neither.

SAme. I have a fresh install since my phone was jailbroken. I've installed Twitter multiple times too.

I know dozens of people using iOS 8.x without this problem on ANY app, including twitter.  Most of the people posting about in in this thread fixed it by reinstalling the app, resetting or restoring the phone.  If this were an iOS bug, we all would have this problem and those troubleshooting steps would never work.

You nailed it!!

Jailbreaking typically causes weird problems like this and jailbroken phones have permanently damaged firmware which don't get fixed with "fresh install" or restoring the phone to factory settings.

Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
