Latest Android update - notifications off but app icon badges on?

[JayJay2104]

Hi all,

Just updated the android operating system on my Samsung galaxy s8 and now apps like my emails where I have always had my notifications off no longer have app icon badges showing me the unread emails/ notifications etc. Is there anyway to put these on even though notifications are off?

Thanks
Jay

I have the same problem, as for a slew of other people

Ever since the recent update (Experience 9.0) my badges have also gone. Even more annoying, long pressing the home button, I no longer get my favourite news articles. Is it possible to undo the update and go back?
