Number of Text Messages Not Appearing on Icon

As of a few days ago, the number text messages stopped appearing on the iMessage app; I receive notifications when the phone is asleep and while I'm on another app (or the home screen).


I didn't mess with any of the notification settings and have tried restarting my phone a few times. Has anyone else seen this happen? If so, how do I resolve?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Alright, I got you bud. Here is what you do:


  1. Open Settings, then scroll to Notification Center and tap it.
  2. Scroll down to the "Notifications Style" section; "Messages"
  3. Tap the "Badge App Icon" switch so it's on.


That should fix it mate. If that is already turned on, I will have another solution for ya.


Hope this helps! Good day to you! 🙂
