I just updated to iOS 16.1.1 on my iPhone SE and there is a red dot with no number in it on the corner of the Phone App Icon even though I have no missed calls and no messages. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks

- Is there a way to get rid of the red number icon on the corner of the phone app icon without calling the number back?Is there a way to get rid of the red number icon on the corner of the phone app icon without calling the number back? I’ve tried opening the call info, sliding up or down on the opened call info, closing the phone app with the call info opened for 10-30 seconds, tapping the message icon on the opened call (but canceling the message), shutting my phone down completely which worked until recently but red number was still there when I restarted my phone—and that is simply too much to get rid of the annoying red number anyway. I think Apple should fix this with a software update because it used to disappear after opening the call information. [Re-Titled by Moderator] 203112

I had a red dot on the phone icon of my iPhone 8 after the update to the latest iOS 16 version, I went to my voice mail, there were no recorded messages but the action of calling my voicemail removed the red dot.

On your phone, you have to update to the latest iOS version. For me doesn't work because I already have iOS 16.3.1. However, this work on my iPhone: Someone needs to call you and leave a message. Then you call your voicemail and check or delete your messages and hang up. The red dot disappears from the phone app.
