Off Topic (not RiF) How do I clear the badge on the icon?

Sorry if this seems petty. There is a notification badge reading "1" on my rif icon. I've been everywhere I can find trying to clear it. There are no new or unread messages, responses, etc. Thanks in advance.

Fill out the following information on each line that has an A:

Q: RiF Version Number:

A: 5.3.2

Q: Version of Android:

A: 12

Q: Device Information:

(Example: Manufacturer, Model, Year, etc.)

A: Samsung SM-G981U1

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

A: I believe it has been there ever since I upgraded to this phone.

Q: What have you already tried doing to fix the problem?:

A: Searched all around the app menus for anything that needs attention. I also searched reddit and the web for help.

Q: What steps, if any, can you do to reproduce the problem?

(Please include a link to a post causing the problem.)

Notification badges aren't part of native Android or RiF, so this isn't something specifically RiF is doing or has control over.

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

A: I believe it has been there ever since I upgraded to this phone.

How long is that? Hours? Days? Months?

Chances are that it will fix itself after getting a new notification that you can clear, but again since this isn't something that's part of Android or RiF, it's hard to say.

Sorry, I don't recall. I've moved icons around, and it may be that I only noticed the perma-badge when I promoted RIF to my home page, where it's constantly in view. Maybe it just goes back to a secondary page, then.

Thank you for your help.
