Motorola Moto G 3rd 2015, how to show notifications on Facebook - WhatsApp icons ?

[David Alfredo]

Using my old S3 Mini I got some small red balloon in some icons for WhatsApp and Facebook / Messenger indicating unread messages and news, but they won't display that using my stock Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen (2015) Android 5.1.1, where's the option to do this ? what could I do ? thanks in advance.

That's dependent on the phone's launcher (i.e., the homescreen user interface). Samsung has that feature in its TouchWiz launcher, but not Motorola. You could use something like Notifyer Unread Count, or install Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread.

Thanks a lot, is this launcher as smooth as the default the phone comes with ?

Nova launcher is fantastic!

Yeah, some would even consider it the gold standard of 3rd party launchers. I use it on my Nexus 6P, and it's super-smooth and snappy.
