Message plus does not show how many texts I have

[MCTHINKPINK]

I went to main screen and pressed on bare spot until HOME SCREEN SETTINGS showed up.

Click on it and hopefully you will see APP ICON BADGES shows up. I enabled it ant the count shows up.

Be aware if this example. You may have 3 unread message once you look at one message the count dissappears u til u get another text and then the count will show 3 again.

Took me 3 hours to stumble on this.

Hope it works for you.
