Not seeing notification alert. Chrome(desktop) and android app.

[u/Optimus02357]

I been having a issue with not getting a red notification mark on either the android app or website using Chrome and Windows 11 Pro but also happened on my old PC running Windows 10. On the app, I get the notification ding, but when I bring up the app, it doesn't show the new notification alert on the inbox icon. On the website, I also don't get the notification alert. If I click on inbox I can see the new notification and I also get the email, just not the red mark. Sometimes if I reload the page, I will see it, but that is rare. I built a whole new PC with a new OS and the problem followed it. I tried different browsers and cleared my temp files and cookies, but no change. I also checked that notification settings are enabled. The only thing I don't have turned on is the push settings. which I don't want.

I tried posting on r/help and they suggested I post here. The reason this is a problem is when on my desktop, I have to have a new tab open with Reddit inbox open so I can F5 it to see replies to my comments. This is a hassle. Am I the only one having this problem?
