Messenger Notifications

Since I updated to ios15, whenever I receive a new message on Messenger, the little red number that’s normally on the app icon doesn’t come up. I still get it on Messages or WhatsApp, just not Messenger. I can only see I’ve got a message if I go on the notification centre or actually open the app.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hi SoggyBread97,


We understand you're no longer getting the notification badge for the Messenger app. Make sure Badges is turned on in Settings > Notifications > Messenger >Badges. If it is disabled, enable it. If it is already enabled, toggle it off for about 30 seconds and then toggle it back on. Also, if the app itself has notification settings, make sure they are enabled. Hope this helps.


Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Take care.
