How to disable red/orange button notifications?

[Rspshout]

Hi

I cannot turn off the red/orange button notifications on my Samsung S7. These are notifications that are a red/orange coloured round badge that sits on the top right corner of the app.

These notifications are appearing on WhatsApp, Email and Chess With Friends.

I have read that I need to disable the system app BadgeProvider to hide these notifications but this doesn't resolve it. I cannot actually press disable in the BadgeProvider app settings as the button is greyed out.

Does anyone know how I can permanently disable these notifications?

Thank you

Install a launcher that allows you to turn them off.

What is a launcher? Where can I find this?

Launcher is the app that creates the desktop and app drawer. Third party ones just give more features than the stock launcher, and can make your phone look really different from other phones. Let's you change icons to custom images for example. Just download one from the Play Store. The more popular ones are Nova Launcher and Action Launcher. I use the paid version of Nova.
