Badge app icon not working...again in iOS 11.3

Starting a new thread to see if anyone else is having this issue. I like many others had an issues in earlier iOS 11 versions that prevented the red circle with a number in it (app badge) from showing up with new messages. The bug was eventually fixed with 11.2.6ish or one of them. Anyway, it appears the bug is back in 11.3.


Hoping to to hear from others to see if it’s a widespread issued again. App badges work fine on iPhone and other devices. Just not on my iPad.


For record I’m using an iPad mini 4 obviously on 11.3.

Here’s what I did. It did solve the issue but Ipad got frozen on another app and I turned it off and turned back in then it stopped working. So fingers crossed, I did it again and so far so good. in Settings go to general and hit reset all settings. Do NOT erase all content. You will NOT lose anything stored except background pic and Apple Pay info. Back up first. It’s the setting that’s messed up. Yes, I still check everyday to see if there is another update to fix this issue as I don’t trust how long it will stay. Good luck to all.

Just not going to turn it off!

Same thing on my new 2018 6 generation iPad. When ios 11.4 came out it fixed it - for 2 days. Had 3 one hour conversations with Apple. Try this and try that. Finally they sent me to apple genius bar. Deleted and restored iPad. When I left it worked...two days later it doesn’t again. There’s a lot of texts with this issue. I think they need to do another update to correct this.
