new to android , apps badges

[simon_cornwall]

Hello ,
I decided to move over to android after of many years of iOS. I just got my self an Samsung 5g s20 ultra , but I'm having some trouble. I have notice on some of the apps like badoo ,when I get badges icons on my apps. I click on the app to read the message , but it doesn't disappear unless I clear it from notification section box , by scrolling down and clear all notifications.

I believe that Samsung use Google's implementation of these badges, which means that the badge is literally a "notification badge", i.e. it is showing you that you have a notification and will remain for as long as the notification does. But you should be able to swipe the individual notification away rather than having to clear all. Also if you touch the notification that will probably take you to whatever it is notifying you about and clear the notification (I say "probably" because I've never heard of "badoo", but that is the normal app behaviour).

What's surprising is that going into the app and reading whatever the notification is about doesn't make it go away. Just opening the app shouldn't, but if you read the message or whatever the notification is notifying you of that should clear the notification, and hence remove the badge. If it does not clear the notification then the problem is with the Badoo app not behaving properly rather than the operating system, and the fix is to tell the developer that their app needs more work.
