Understanding Notification Badges
NetGym uses two visual indicators for unread activity.
Red Dot
Appears on Posts or Messages
Indicates there is unread activity
Numbered Badge
Appears on Messages
Shows the number of unread items
Appears:
On the Messages icon (total unread)
On individual chats (unread replies)
📌 If you’ve read everything but still see a badge:
Navigate away from the area
Return to refresh the view
Mark all as read to get rid of thoughts pesky ghost badges
Not Receiving Push Notifications?
If you’re not getting notifications:
Confirm push notifications are enabled for NetGym on your device
Check your phone’s system settings:
Set NetGym notifications to Persistent, not temporary
Make sure you are not currently inside the chat
Push notifications are only sent when you are outside the chat view
Key Things to Remember
Chat notifications are mobile-only
Group chats notify you only when tagged
Muted chats suppress all notifications and badges
Badge indicators reflect unread activity, not push notifications
