If you are tired of seeing those annoying red notification dots on your otherwise good-looking iOS icons, there’s a way of turning them off.

This will not turn them all off across the entire device, but you’ll be able to choose which app you don’t want to see the red dot.red-notifications

- Tap on Edit on the top right of the screen
- Select each application by tapping once on it and turn Badge App Icon OFF
- Repeat to disable for other applicationsnotifications

Since you are here, you can also select which app you want in your Notification Center, which is the one you see when you swipe your finger from the top of the screen downwards.

- Tap Edit
- Press and hold the three horizontal bars on the right side of each app and either move it under Not in Notification Center or re-arrange the order to your liking

That’s it!
