I’ve a really unusual situation with an app on my iPhone 14 Professional (IOS 17.5.1).
The app is allowed all types of notifications and often works accurately like another app; nonetheless, some occasions in the past (I feel a few weeks), I acquired a notification and after studying and deleting it the purple badge with “1” on the app icon acquired caught; the app icon at all times seems as having one pending notification, nonetheless there aren’t any notifications anyplace, even contained in the app itself (which has its personal inside listing of notifications).
What I attempted:
- Pressure closing the app; nothing modifications.
- Rebooting the iPhone; nothing modifications.
- Disabling badge notifications (or notifications altogether) for the app; the badge disappears, however after I re-enable notifications it reappears.
- Final however not least (and that is what I discover most strage), uninstalling the app. However then, after I reinstalled it, for some unknowable motive its icon appeared once more with the purple “1” badge.
I might think about this to be a bug within the app, however how can it survive after uninstalling and reinstalling the entire app? I can verify all software information was deleted after I eliminated the app, as a result of after reinstalling it I needed to go once more via its first-run setup; nonetheless, it appears just like the phantom pending notification remained saved someplace.
Additionally, throughout this time I acquired different notifications from the app; however the quantity on the purple badge at all times remained “1”.
Any thought about how you can repair this?
Addendum: the app is my cellphone provider’s administration app (TIM, Italy). When first put in, it asks you in your login credentials and acknowledges your SIM; I undoubtedly had to try this after reinstalling it, confirming app information had truly been deleted when uninstalling the app. Nevertheless, the notification badge immediately reappeared after re-installing the app, even earlier than going via its setup (throughout which it’s a must to give consent to obtain notifications).
