How to Disable Galaxy S9 Icon Notification Badges

In this guide, we will show you how to disable icon notification badges on Galaxy S9. You either love them or hate them. We’re talking about those little red-orange notification dots on the screen. When messages, emails, and notifications arrive, small orange dots appear on app icons along with a series of unread notifications.

This is a feature that many users love, especially those coming from the iPhone. However, they are also somewhat annoying. They don’t work with all Android apps, so you’ll see the badge in some apps and not others.

In the past, these were incredibly difficult to pull off on Samsung phones. But thanks to Android 8.0 Oreo on the Galaxy S9, it only takes a few taps in the settings. Watch our quick video or read the step-by-step instructions below and learn how.

As you can see from our video above, it’s extremely easy to change, customize or completely disable them. You can turn notification badges into dots and get rid of unread counter on Galaxy S9. Or turn off all feature and keep your screen clean. For those who can’t watch the video, here are the step-by-step instructions.

Instructions

This much. We’ve successfully completely turned off app icon notification badges and unread counters on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. However, instead of just turning it off, you can also tap on “App Icon Badges” for more options.

Then you can customize it a bit as you can see in the rightmost screenshot. Choose to get rid of numbers and unread numbers, but leave a small dot for a visual reminder that you missed notifications. That way you won’t see a huge orange badge on the screen, but you still have the indicator. That’s a good middle ground, but it’s all personal preference.

Go ahead and turn off the Galaxy S9 icon notification badges and you’re done. If at any time you want them back, follow the steps above and turn the switch back on. While you’re here, take a look at the 9 best Galaxy S9 screen protectors from the slideshow below.
