basement Aspiring developer Posts: 488 Reg: Apr 07, 2011 Ontario 4,880	confirm \| cancel 06/24/11 01:25 PM (14 years ago) those little red circles on the icon with numbers (iOS) how can I add a number in a red circle on my icon when I update the app? I want people to be able to see I've changed something on the app without having to open it...? I'd like to be able to use these on a couple of pages of the app to let people know there;s a new song added, etc. This would be really handy on another couple of apps I'm working on. I remember David saying it was fairly easy to do, but I've searched the forum and can't find out how to implement it. It doesn't help that I can't remember what it's called! (must be friday!!)

I'll check out the link though - thanks! Comments I guess, only when I read about push it was talking about messages rather than the little red circles. I'll check out the link though - thanks!

Either way, you'll have to do a manual push to your users whenever you update the app. Comments What you're looking for is part of push notifications but identified as badges.
