The app icon will not give you an unread messages count.  You need to add the app WIDGET to get the unread count.

Long press any area of the homescreen, and tap Widgets at the bottom of the screen.  Then scroll down to Messages, and hold and drag that to your homescreen.

Trevor01, it's important to us that you are able to enjoy the new phone with no trouble at all and I'm happy to help. Let's gather a few details to get to the bottom of what is going on with the phone.

Have you added any new apps to the phone recently? Did this problem occur as soon as you started using the phone? Are you having trouble with notifications on any other app?

HI Trevor,

Thank you for your message.

If you have not, please update to the 6.3.10 version which includes a number of fixes.

If the issue continues, please let me know.

THANKS,
