What causes iMessage badges to stop appearing?

As something of a follow-up up to my prior thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8486320), can anyone make a best-guess as to what in the iOS coding causes the badges to either “lock up” or not appear?

Whatsapp Badge Disappears When Unread Messages Still Remain This has been asked before but never resolved. It may be a Whatsapp or Apple problem, of course. Is there a way to keep the Whatsapp badge showing on the Whatsapp icon on an iphone when you've opened messages from one chat but there are still messages unread from other chats? Having read messages in one chat, I don't necessarily want to read other chats' messages right then, but I would like the badge count of other unread messages to remain as a reminder. Thanks. This problem has persisted for a number of years. Currently iPhone 14 Pro iOS16

Badges don’t work on iMessage after ios16 After iOS 16 no badges on text messages. My alert sounds but going to messages you can’t tell who messaged you without going through each thread.

message app not showing badges from non iphones So I’ve noticed that from the latest ios 15 to the newest ios16 my message app no longer seems to show badges from messages sent from people who don’t have an iphone for some reason. At first thought it was simply an issue with all messages but then noticed I’d see the badge from people i know who have iphones, but not from those that don’t. Is this intentional? If so why?
