you WISH they’d add a feature that basic and easy to implement!

Because a lot of people don't clear every message, and some services like to organize email into categories where it's not critical to clear your inbox. And the phone just lumps that all into one big number as seen in the screenshot of this post.

Ah, ok, i guess i just use them differently. I always instantly unsubscribe out of everything I don’t want on my main emails and only keep the notifications on for the inboxes I want, so my ”trash” emails don’t show up on the number.

I did that when I had a jailbroken iPhone and it looked clean AF. I wish they’d offer the option stock but I imagine this is one of those ‘protecting users from themselves’ kinda thing

You can technically do this by creating a shortcut for each app. When you create the shortcut you just don’t give it a name. A little annoying and take work but it looks pretty good when done. But it does mean it won’t show notification bubbles on the app icon.

Why are you bothered about the text while you have over 25.000 emails? O right, YOU DON’T READ.

I used to do this back in the jailbreak days.

I mean...why not just turn notification badges off at that point?

Came looking for this comment. Wasn't sure how many people remembered this. Man, that was like ios 7 days. I used to have those glyph icons and no app names, my home screen looked so damn clean back then.

Well, ish. Looked into it recently, a lot seems to have changed. I think up to like 16.1 can be jailbroken, something like that. Seems most jailbreaks aren't untethered though, so once you restart your phone, you have to go through the jailbreak process again. Easier the second time around when it's already set up, still a pain though

Turn off the notification badge for mail. You don't check it anyways.

I got my phone jailbroken till iPhone X. Every time you restart you need a computer to redo the jailbreak. Later it was an app. But the JB were pretty stable. So you could get 30 days of uptime with it.

Hey, that's nice. I haven't jailbroken anything in a couple years. Switched to Android for necessary reasons, and I don't mind it. Kinda miss having an iphone, kinda fine without it. I always try to stay up to date though, fixing phones and whatnot. The older blackra1n untethered ones would crash often for me, it was annoying. I still did it though, I was addicted to icon packs lol never had more than a week of uptime myself, probably had bad tweaks or just too many, I could never help myself.

You’ve got bigger problems than words under icons

No but there was a tweak you could get in Cydia after jail breaking.

Not sure if you care, but as a fellow unread email person, you can have it so that specific things like email don’t have a number. I got used to seeing nothing there after a week.

Settings -> notifications -> mail -> badges

No judgement if you don’t care but someone posted this on Reddit the other day so figured I’d pass along the tech tip.

newer iPhones (A12 and after) don’t have the security exploits in ios 16 that jailbreak developers need in order for them to develop a jailbreak method. my 11 is jail broken on ios 14.4 but it can’t be jail broken on ios 16 as of yet to my knowledge. every iphone (A11 and before) can be jailbroken regardless of ios version but it’ll be untethered. the chips have been getting harder and harder to get into (code wise) to find a way around the security “checkpoints” apple has implemented.

add the fact that jailbreak devs get less and less incentive every year to sit down and code for hours, and the truth is the community has been dying a slow death. sad but the days of finding a tweak for every single thing you wanted customized is gone. no one knows if they’re ever be a jailbreak release for ios 17 when it does come out.

Lmao it’s an iPhone. You can’t customize anything.
