No Gmail Badge?

[vonnegutfan99]

Not sure if it's an S8 thing, a Nougat thing or just some setting I have not selected. Switching from my Motorola Droid Turbo which was awesome. Gmail NOT showing my orange badge new email indicator. Double checked all my settings and they match from the Turbo settings.
Any ideas?

I'm seeing if I can get you some help. You can also see if anyone in the S8 forum is reporting the same.

I've searched for an answer, no luck unfortunately

I asked a few folks that I know have the S8, the Gmail app does not have have a badge out of the box. Sounds like you'll need an alternate ay to get the badge (launcher, with add-in).

Odd. It was never needed before. Thank you though. My other issue is that unless you keep the lock screen Always On, there is no indicator LED light that flashes for incoming texts, missed calls, voicemail, emails etc. There is an LED setting that I have turned on but... Nada.

I suggest you take a browse through Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ and possibly ask your question there. Those folks will be able to give you a more direct answer.
