Messages app badge icon not showing up.

I’ve got the exact same issue on my iPad. I contacted Apple one day and they said to reset all settings and that worked for about a week or so and now I’m back to having the same issue.

Really frustrating.

I am having this same problem. Followed all the troubleshooting guidelines that other iPad users outlined below and no luck. I have a 2017 9.7-inch 5th Gen iPad. Apple techs: obviously this is an unsolvable problem until you do a bug fix. Just do it already!

I’m not sure who told you it was just the wallet, bc it is not. The setting does what it says, it resets all your personal presences. it Wipes out you network connections, so you gphave to reconnect. And it resets anything you did in preferences. I believe it resets everything in these below sections. So you would need to keep track of what you are changing in these parts of setting.

The same thing happened to me the first time.

the one thing that was different this time is that when I did the Reset All the kid at the Apple store noticed that my home screen picture did not reset, so we did it again.

I would recommend:

1. Reset All
2. do the bare minimum to logon and other stuff that you do for initializing a new device
3. power down/restart
4. do Reset All AGAIN
5. then go thru the setup completely

mine has been working since then (I hope I didn’t jinx myself!)

I know resetting all your custom stuff is a pain (particularly if you do a lot of customizing like I do), but hopefully this will be the last time! And it is better than a restore (which I refuse to do).

I really think this has to do with a cache file that isn’t getting cleared correctly. Things like a reboot and software updates are clearing it enough for it to work for a while, but eventually, you are bumping into the wrong bit.

mine has been working for a week now and I have done the update. I better not have just jinxed myself!

these are the steps I would recommend. Below is a copy/paste of my prior reply.

Yeah dormeas same issue too on my mini 2. Seems like started after the 11.2.1 update fir me. I haven’t heard anything via search engines until I saw your post just now. Prob be corrected with next update. Like others have said too, badge app icon working fine on my 6s runningthe same iOS version 11.2.1

I have this issue also, on iPad. Now I don’t know how many messages I might have. Instead I need to open messages manually to find out if I have any messages. In settings, the badge is set to on.

Please advise.

Seems to be a new bug introduced with iOS 11.2.1. I’m sure it’ll probably be fixed in the next update. With all the bad press Apple are getting latterly, I’m sure their QA department will be keeping their eyes on the ball

It isn't a iPad problem only, I have the same problem on my iPod touch and it's really frustrating...
I really hope Apple fixes this problem as fast as possible, I can't handle it anymore. I keep forgetting to answer texts.

I have this same issue too on my iPad Pro. It started after updating to 11.2.1. Went to the Apple store last night and the tech did a “reset all settings”and it worked before we left the store, but today it isn’t working again. Works on my IPhone8 with the same O/S interestingly. Please fix this!

Greetings all and a happy and holy New Year.

with that bit of joy aside, there’s no joy in saying that I’ve got this issue too on an iPad mini 4 running 11.2.1. Had it before, only with iOS 11. Got fixed by doing an erase all. Was working just beautifully. until today. It’s crazy work to reload all the stuff I need to download, so wiping everything out for a THIRD time is just too much.

Anyone have a solution?

Apple, are you reading these forums??

Same problem here...11.2.1 seems to be the issue. I have two iPad Air 2’s, one is running iOS 11.1.1 and has no problem. The one I updated to 11.2.1 does have the issue. Resets work for a short period and problem is back.

Also very slow in having mail updated?? I will not be updating the software on my other iPad for now.

Come on Apple fix the bug!
