After updating the phone to the latest, it still shows a "1" on the Settings icon. I checked & there are no other updates or other processes pending in Settings. I restarted the phone and it is still there. Is there anyway I can remove or resolve this issue?
iPhone 6, iOS 12.1
You said you restarted your iphone, Usually my first go to with any trouble is a hardreset. Sometimes that has cleared up issues with notifications, stuck phone loops etc.. Iphone 6 press and hold the home button and the power button until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. Worth a shot.

Try to sign out and back in to icloud in system preferences
Signed out and back into iCloud. Seems to have resolved the issue: the false badge on the Settings icon went away! Thanks miskeecare!
Like the user said above, that should go away. That is weird! I have heard of that happening to other users in pasts posts, but usually has just resolved itself the next update that apple pushes out.
It will be there again for a reason(to update) then when you do.....it goes away. You could just totally reset your phone if it bothers you and apply a backup. Reset all content and settings, if it bothers you to have it on there. I understand I HATE notification badges. I look at others with 59 on email and HOW DOES THAT NOT DRIVE YOU NUTS?!
The erase and applying a backup or starting from scratch is up to you....
It should eventually go away, it should not cause any issues.
Well, it has been a week now and it hasn't gone away. It is misleading, thus distracting and annoying.
Did the hard reset as advised (thanks for the idea). No change: The notification badge is still on the Settings icon with no pending update or process.
False notification badge on iPhone Settings icon!?
