Disabling Unread Messages Badge Count in Gmail App
Hello, everyone. When I hear the Gmail App announced while flicking through my resident apps on my iPhone 5 running iOS 8.3, the number of unread messages in my Inbox is spoken even though I have Background App Refresh turned off in the General section of my iPhone settings. How can I disable the notification of unread messages! Thank you. Craig -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Disabling Unread Messages Badge Count in Gmail App
Oh, okay. You can have the badge on or off, again in Notification Settings. Even though it has a badge, it may not be refreshing in the background, which seems to be the heart of your question (why would it be refreshing if you don't want it to?) When you open the app, it refreshes. If you close it with 3 messages left unread, it will know it has 3 unread messages. If it updates that badge later even though you haven't opened it, that's another matter, and I'd go to the app itself and see if there are settings in there. Apps should honor the iOS settings, but maybe this one isn't doing so for some reason?

A Alex, I failed to put the question clearly. Here's Take 2. Under Settings, Notifications, the Gmail app is listed in the do not include section. Background refresh for all apps is toggled off under Settings, General, background Refresh. Given this scenario, why does the Gmail app tell me the number of unread messages in my Inbox when I flick to its name on one of the pages of my home screen in preparation for opening it?

Re: Disabling Unread Messages Badge Count in Gmail App
Thank you, Alex and John. Looking back on this thread, my concern seems quite petty. The app works very well overall with a high degree of functionality. I'm going to look for more important stuff to worry about.
