Why are we doing this?
1 participant requested that the bell icon be badged in red and not black. 1 participant wanted the badge to change color based on their last use of the app and when new messages may have arrived.
Contributor story
It's hard for me to tell when I have a new notification due to the color of the badge in the app
Diary entry quotes
- It still bothers me that the notification dot shows as red on the iPhone home screen but inside the app it shows as black (a black dot on the bell icon). For notifications, I am always expecting red dots.
- Maybe not have red dot notification but some other color if I visited Wikipedia app since the last notification arrived
Proposed design
| No unread notifications | Unread notifications |
