Iphone mail badges not showing

The pesky mail badge issue on iPhone! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem.

Why are my iPhone mail badges not showing?

Mail badges, also known as notification badges or flags, are small numbers or icons that appear next to the Mail app icon on your iPhone's home screen, indicating the number of unread emails in your inbox. If they're not showing, it could be due to a few reasons:

  1. Notification settings: Your notification settings might be turned off or set to "None" for the Mail app.
  2. Badge count limit: If you have a large number of unread emails, the badge count might be capped at a certain limit (e.g., 99).
  3. App issues: The Mail app might be experiencing issues, causing the badges to not display.
  4. iOS version: You might be running an older version of iOS, which could be causing the issue.
