Settings app has notification but nothing to update

after installing iOS 12.0.1 my settings app has a 1 new notification but nothing needs an update in settings. I’m in the US and have a language set to English and I already setup and use 2FA. (Both of those things I’ve found on the internet as possible causes) Already rebooted 3 or 4 times. Anyone know how to get rid of the notification?

Unknown Notification, Settings My iPhone SE iOS 13.3.1 Settings has a red "1" in upper right corner of the icon for which I can not figure out what it is trying to tell me. Usually that means an update of iOS is pending but scrolling through everything in Settings fails to find another red indicator asking for attention. iOS is current. Is there a brute force way to ask iOS of what it is trying to notify? Killing Settings and re-opening didn't change the notification the way it works with Mail losing proper count. Rebooting iPhone made no difference either. The only unusual thing to mention is that this phone doesn't have a SIM. Wasn't worth enough to trade so I use as an iPod. However I also do the same with a 7 Plus without this issue.

Notification stopped after upgrade to iOS 16.0.2 I had upgraded my iPhone 11 to iOS 16.0.2. After this all notifications stopped. No notification from WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, MS Teams, Outlook and all other apps. I called today Apple India support. But they could not help me. How an upgrade can stop all kind of notification. Even WhatsApp call to my phone is not working. The messages are delivered when I open my application. Is Apple is forcing us to buy new iPhone? This is not good strategy. If it is a bug then fix it very quickly.

Try logging out of iCloud account, and then log back in. It worked for me.
