I remember already seeing this feature request in the past, but I can't seem to find it. In any case, I agree this would he super helpful and pretty market standard

Hi @Scottsky!

Thanks for the feedback! I found an existing internal feature request for this, so I added your input to help the team prioritize it. Unfortunately there isn't a timeline that I can give you, but we'll follow up on this thread if there is any movement.

I did find this thread from a couple weeks ago where Paulo provided a possible workaround, if you're interested: Badge on icon in mobile app - #2 by Paulo. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe it will help in the meantime.

Thank you, for the suggestion, Polly.

But this time I doubt there is a workaround that would work this time.
I was already smacked on the nose on one of the design reviews for making users relearn basic functionality with all the workaround.

I will need users to perceive it as a numeric badge this time, so I'm happy to wait the feature request to go through. Thank you for bumping the priority on it.
