Hi! I see you're noticing a persistent "1" showing up in the WMBF app, and it won’t go away. That number usually indicates a notification badge, which suggests there’s an unread alert or message the app wants to highlight.

To get started, can you tell me if you’ve tried clearing or opening notifications in the app? Sometimes, the badge number sticks even after you’ve viewed the notification, so I’ll guide you through a few steps to clear it out.

Here’s what you can try on your iPhone running iOS 18.7:

1. Open the WMBF app: Check if there’s any unread alert, article, or message inside. Sometimes the badge won’t clear until you open or interact with that notification.

2. Force close and reopen the app:
- Swipe up from the bottom (or double-click Home for older iPhones) to open the app switcher.
- Swipe the WMBF app off the screen to close it completely.
- Reopen the app to see if the "1" badge disappears.

3. Clear app notifications from the home screen:
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll down and select the WMBF app.
- Toggle off "Badges." Wait a moment, then toggle "Badges" back on. This often resets the badge count.

4. Restart your iPhone: A simple restart can resolve notification sync glitches.

5. Update the app: Check the App Store to ensure your WMBF app is the latest version. Sometimes badges stick due to app bugs that updates fix.

If after these steps the "1" still remains, it might be a notification that the app thinks is unread but is stuck. At that point, uninstalling and reinstalling the app can help reset those counters.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these already, or if you want me to walk you through any step. We’ll get that persistent "1" badge cleared for you!

Are you satisfied with the initial instructions, or would you like me to assist you with deeper troubleshooting?

I’ve tried them all including deleting and reinstalling the app. It comes back with the 1

Thanks for letting me know you've already tried all the usual steps, including deleting and reinstalling the app, but that "1" badge still keeps coming back. That definitely narrows down the possibilities.

Since the standard fixes haven’t resolved this persistent badge issue, there might be an internal glitch with the app's notification counter syncing properly on your device. Let’s explore a couple of less common, but effective options:

1. Check Notification Settings from the Device Level:
- Go to Settings > Notifications > WMBF Breaking News & Weather on your iPhone.
- Toggle off Allow Notifications entirely, then restart your phone.
- After reboot, toggle notifications back on for the app. This can sometimes reset notification sync issues that simple badge toggling doesn't fix.

2. Reset All Settings on Your iPhone (last resort):
This resets your settings like Wi-Fi passwords, wallpaper, and system preferences but doesn’t delete personal data like photos or apps.
- Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings.
- Confirm and let the device restart.
- After that, re-enable notifications for the WMBF app and see if the badge clears properly.

3. Report the Issue to WMBF Support:
It’s possible this is a bug with how the app handles notifications on iOS 18.7. They may already have a fix in the works or can provide a more tailored solution. You can submit your issue here:
WMBF Technical Issues Form

If you want, I can help you step through the reset all settings process or assist with submitting your issue to WMBF’s tech team.

Are you okay to try the device settings reset, or would you like to reach out to WMBF support directly? Let me know how you'd like to proceed!

The app constantly displays a 1 that won’t go away

Hi again! I see you're experiencing the persistent "1" badge in the WMBF Breaking News & Weather app on your iPhone, and you’ve already tried deleting and reinstalling the app without any luck. Since this issue is on iOS (not Android), the Android-specific fixes won’t apply here, but I checked available resources and I’ll focus on iOS-tailored steps.

Given what you’ve done so far, and that the badge reappears even after reinstalling, it looks like the glitch might be tied to the app’s notification state syncing with iOS.

Here’s what I recommend next on your iPhone with iOS 18.7:

1. Disable and Re-enable Notifications for WMBF in Settings:
- Open Settings > Notifications > WMBF Breaking News & Weather.
- Toggle Allow Notifications OFF.
- Restart your iPhone.
- Go back and toggle Allow Notifications ON again.

2. Clear Badge Count via a Different Method:
- Sometimes, badges clear only when you interact with the notification inside the Notification Center.
- Swipe down from the top of your screen to open Notification Center.
- Find the WMBF notification and clear or open it.
- Check if the badge disappears afterward.

3. Check for App Updates Frequently:
- Occasionally, bugs like these are fixed by app developers.
- Make sure your app is up-to-date via the App Store.

4. Restart Your iPhone After These Changes:
- This ensures system processes reset properly.

If none of this clears the badge, the issue might be a bug on the app side related to how it manages notification badges on iOS 18.7. In that case, I recommend reporting the issue directly to WMBF support so their developers can address it:

The app constantly displays a 1 that won’t go away

Hey there! I see you want to fix the persistent "1" notification badge on the WMBF Breaking News & Weather app on your iPhone with iOS 18.7. Since you've tried the common fixes like reinstalling and toggling notifications without success, let's try a focused approach based on what usually helps with iOS badges that won't clear.7

Here’s a step-by-step tailored for your iPhone:

1. Turn Off Badge Notifications for WMBF
- Go to Settings > Notifications > WMBF Breaking News & Weather.
- Toggle Badges off.

2. Force Close the App
- Swipe up from the bottom and pause to open the app switcher.
- Swipe the WMBF app off the screen to close it.

3. Restart Your iPhone
- Press and hold the side button and either volume button, then slide to power off.
- Turn it back on after 30 seconds.

4. Turn Badge Notifications Back On
- Return to Settings > Notifications > WMBF, and toggle Badges back on.

5. Clear Any WMBF Notifications in Notification Center
- Swipe down from the top to open Notification Center.
- Find any WMBF notifications and either tap them or clear them.

If this doesn’t fix it, sometimes the app internally records a notification or alert that it thinks is unread. Unfortunately, that’s something only an app update or a fix from WMBF can correct. If that’s the case, I suggest submitting a report to WMBF’s support team here: WMBF Technical Issues Form

Let me know if you'd like me to guide you through these steps or help with contacting WMBF support! Are you satisfied with this approach?

The 1 notification will not go away I have deleted the app, when I reinstall it the 1 is still there. I do not have notifications turned on for this app. After doing everything suggested, I have turned off my phone and when I turn it back on the 1 is still there

Thanks for all the extra details. Since you don’t have notifications turned on for the WMBF app, have already deleted and reinstalled it, and even restarted your phone, but the persistent “1” badge still remains, this looks like a deeper issue with the app’s badge count syncing on iOS 18.7.

From the search results and similar reports with news apps, sometimes the badge count gets "stuck" on the device side even when the app or iOS notification settings are clean. This can happen if the app internally thinks there’s an unread alert that never properly clears.

Here’s what I recommend as the next best steps:

1. Disable Badges Completely for WMBF
- Go to Settings > Notifications > WMBF Breaking News & Weather, and toggle off Badges.
- This stops the badge from showing altogether, which is a workaround if the “1” can’t be cleared normally.

2. Monitor for an App Update
- Sometimes developers release a fix for this exact problem in app updates. Keep the app updated and check if the badge clears after updates.

3. Contact WMBF Support to Report This Badge Bug
- Since this looks like a software bug on their side, reporting it helps alert their developers. You can submit the issue here:
WMBF Technical Issues Form.

Currently, the persistent badge after reinstall and no notifications enabled suggests the app may have a bug with how it handles badge reset on iOS 18.7. Unfortunately, there is no iOS-level fix beyond disabling badges or resetting all settings on the device (which you might want to avoid just for this issue).

If you want, I can help you disable badges or assist with submitting the bug report to WMBF.

Are you comfortable disabling badge notifications for now, or shall we try contacting WMBF support together?
