Maybe he didn’t get the calls? Could be an iOS bug, looks like there’s an update available.

Not sure if you care, but as a fellow unread email person, you can have it so that specific things like email don’t have a number. I got used to seeing nothing there after a week.
Settings -> notifications -> mail -> badges
No judgement if you don’t care but someone posted this on Reddit the other day so figured I’d pass along the tech tip.

Pretty sure it's a reference to OP's 25k+ unread emails.

You can technically do this by creating a shortcut for each app. When you create the shortcut you just don’t give it a name. A little annoying and take work but it looks pretty good when done. But it does mean it won’t show notification bubbles on the app icon.

Came looking for this comment. Wasn't sure how many people remembered this. Man, that was like ios 7 days. I used to have those glyph icons and no app names, my home screen looked so damn clean back then.

Yes! I use to customize the hell out of the UI! Those honestly were the good old days!

what happened? is ios 16/new iphones not jailbreakable?
mydnytefantasy89 t1_jecscpy wrote
Well, ish. Looked into it recently, a lot seems to have changed. I think up to like 16.1 can be jailbroken, something like that. Seems most jailbreaks aren't untethered though, so once you restart your phone, you have to go through the jailbreak process again. Easier the second time around when it's already set up, still a pain though
FreakG175 t1_jedps70 wrote
I got my phone jailbroken till iPhone X. Every time you restart you need a computer to redo the jailbreak. Later it was an app. But the JB were pretty stable. So you could get 30 days of uptime with it.
mydnytefantasy89 t1_jedqlnh wrote
Hey, that's nice. I haven't jailbroken anything in a couple years. Switched to Android for necessary reasons, and I don't mind it. Kinda miss having an iphone, kinda fine without it. I always try to stay up to date though, fixing phones and whatnot. The older blackra1n untethered ones would crash often for me, it was annoying. I still did it though, I was addicted to icon packs lol never had more than a week of uptime myself, probably had bad tweaks or just too many, I could never help myself.
paulstelian97 t1_jedy04g wrote
For me a semi tethered jailbreak is good enough in the end.
TheSadLifeOfADreamer t1_jeec9z8 wrote
newer iPhones (A12 and after) don’t have the security exploits in ios 16 that jailbreak developers need in order for them to develop a jailbreak method. my 11 is jail broken on ios 14.4 but it can’t be jail broken on ios 16 as of yet to my knowledge. every iphone (A11 and before) can be jailbroken regardless of ios version but it’ll be untethered. the chips have been getting harder and harder to get into (code wise) to find a way around the security “checkpoints” apple has implemented.
add the fact that jailbreak devs get less and less incentive every year to sit down and code for hours, and the truth is the community has been dying a slow death. sad but the days of finding a tweak for every single thing you wanted customized is gone. no one knows if they’re ever be a jailbreak release for ios 17 when it does come out.

If you are able to keep more than 25k emails UNREAD, probably none of them is really important.

Call_of_Queerthulhu t1_jedeqlm wrote
That’s why I just use the gmail app
WritersGift t1_jeb7wix wrote
Why?
SomeGadgetGuy t1_jeb8bas wrote
Because a lot of people don't clear every message, and some services like to organize email into categories where it's not critical to clear your inbox. And the phone just lumps that all into one big number as seen in the screenshot of this post.
WritersGift t1_jeb92zw wrote
Ah, ok, i guess i just use them differently. I always instantly unsubscribe out of everything I don’t want on my main emails and only keep the notifications on for the inboxes I want, so my ”trash” emails don’t show up on the number.
Wintercult t1_jebirjv wrote
Why are you bothered about the text while you have over 25.000 emails? O right, YOU DON’T READ.

It only shows if there is apps to update it won’t send you notifications

If you have App Store auto update enabled it won’t show the notification.

i have auto update turned off and it doesn’t show for me, idk why but apparently i have 21 apps that need updated.

Because it’s automatically on auto update. Only if you change it to not update automatically you get notifications.
