Some apps, such as Mail and the App Store, display a badge on their Home screen icon with a number (to indicate incoming items) or exclamation mark (to indicate a problem). If these apps are contained in a folder, the badge appears on the folder. A numbered badge shows the total number of items you haven’t attended to, such as incoming email messages and updated apps to download. An alert badge indicates a problem with an app in the folder.
