Iphone app notification won't go away

Dear Community,
I have a notification showing on my Airbnb app but no pending requests or messages at all. I've looked extensively, anyone have any ideas how to clear this as it may prevent me from replying to an actually request in a timely manner. I have redownload the app, turned notifications on and off. No notifications appear on the dashboard of the website.

Logging out of my account on the app, and then logging back in seemed to do the trick for me. You can find the Logout button under the Settings.

Just managed to resolve this so for anyone still having the issue:

 

1.  Log out / Log in.  If this doesn’t work

2. Delete the App and re-install.  If this doesn’t work

3. Check Inbox notifications (bell icon in Inbox), and if that doesn’t work

4. Desktop version, Inbox, Unread messages.  

“4” finally worked for me, there was a message that had actually been read on my phone but was showing as not read on my desktop interface

 

 

I am having this same problem, have tried all 4 of your suggestions, and still cannot eliminate the bogus notification. In the desktop version it does seem to indicate that there is an unread message from the menu. But when I go messages, there are no unread ones. 

I searched on every forum on internet and eventually end up fixing this by removing Red Notification Numbers on iPhone Apps. Those pesky red badges can be easily removed!

Here's how:-  

  1. Go to Settings:- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.  
  2. Tap Notifications:- Scroll down and select "Notifications".
  3. Choose the App:- Select the app that has the red badge you want to remove.  
  4. Turn Off Badges:- Under the app's settings, you'll find an option called "Badges". Toggle this off.  

 

That's it! The red badge will disappear from the app's icon.

Hi Paula

What you have to do is ignore that the red dot is on your profile tab.  You'll have to go to your notifications.  Youll find that by clicking "inbox" (to the left of profile on the app).  From there youll see a bell logo on the top.  Select that and open those messages one by one and the notification will go away!  Hope that helps

You are a genius!!!!!!!! This has been annoying me for weeks but that fixed it!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!!

Also having the same issue... when i click on the app it shows that there’s a notification on my profile page but i’ve opened up every menu within my profile and nothing will make it go away. Super frustrating!

Go to inbox then notifications (bell at top right) and clear the notification. That should help.

It worked!! FINALLY! Thank you
