Disable Notification Number on Mail App - iPad & iPhone

Eliminating Persistent Notification Badges on iOS Devices

Do you find yourself frequently confronted with a Mail icon displaying a stubbornly high number, refusing to diminish despite your efforts? This guide provides a straightforward method to disable this feature, offering an alternative to exhaustive inbox management.

The conventional solution involves accessing your email account and either deleting messages or marking all as read. However, recognizing that this isn't always a preferred approach, we will focus on concealing the notification counter itself.

Applying the Solution to Multiple App Icons

It’s important to note that this technique isn't limited to the Mail application. It can be effectively applied to any app icon on your iPhone or iPad exhibiting a similar badge notification.

The process involves adjusting settings at the system level, rather than within individual applications. This ensures a consistent experience across all apps.

• This method simply hides the number; it doesn't address the underlying unread messages.
• You will still receive standard push notifications for new emails.

By implementing this simple adjustment, you can regain a cleaner, less cluttered home screen experience without the need for constant inbox maintenance.

Ultimately, this offers a quick and effective way to manage visual distractions on your iOS device, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Removing the Notification Badge from App Icons

To disable the numerical badge on an app icon, navigate to the Settings application. From there, select "Notifications," and then locate the specific application you wish to modify within the list.

Accessing App-Specific Notification Settings

For instance, if you want to remove the counter from the Mail app icon, find "Mail" in the notifications list.
