Alerts also appear on the lock screen, or briey at the top of the screen when you’re using iPhone.
You can see all current alerts in Notication Center.
Many apps, such as Phone, Messages, Mail, and the App Store, can display an alert badge on their
Home screen icon with a number (to indicate incoming items) or an exclamation mark (to indicate
a problem). If these apps are contained in a folder, the badge appears on the folder. A badge with
a number shows the total number of items you haven’t attended to, such as incoming phone calls,
email messages, text messages, and updated apps to download. A badge with an exclamation
mark indicates a problem with an app.
