Number of Unread Messages Not Showing

Since I updated to iOS 13, the number of unread text messages is not displaying on top of the messages app on my home screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and/or solution?

i found the problem. The option for “badges” was turned off in Settings -> Notifications -> Messages. When I turned it on, the number appeared 😊
