Badge count problem in samsung s8 oreo - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung S8 has a major issue with Oreo. The badge count disappears once I open the Whatsapp app or email, even though I do not open the messages or emails.
Thus I may have unread mails or unread whatsapp posts but since the badge count is zero, I am not able to keep a tab on it.
Samsung service centre refused to install Nougat which did not have this issue.
Any solution to this problem?

I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...

Messages don't appear in the thread

I have Note 5 with 7.0
Installed native Samsung messenger app and Google messenger app that is default that I'm using.
Sometimes I receive messages that doesn't appear in the messaging thread and notification isn't received. I know I receive the messages because I have Cortana installed that is pushing notifications to my laptop. I see these text received notifications on laptop but it's not appearing on mobile.
Any clue?

Samsung email unread icon count

I have the unlocked U1 model and cannot figure out how to get the unread email count on the application icon. I'm able to get the new email notification count, but it goes away after opening the email app. On my S7 the unread count on the shortcut would stay until the emails were marked as read. I found a thread on the samsung forum with a similar issue, but haven't seen a fix for it.
I briefly flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone for testing some other items and from what I could tell the unread count worked properly. I'm thinking this could be limited to the unlocked model, but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this behavior.

id like the watch to just show the message instead of also showing the badge count

anyone can help me with this one?
my stratos (custom rom i got here, ver.2) is showing message notifications from the phone, thats what i want, not only it only shows last one from a contact (from whatsapp, for example) instead of showing every received message (as long as its limit would support) it keeps showing the badge count (like: whatsapp - 6 new messages).
i know theres nothing to be done about just showing one last message from a contact for now, but id like it to stop with the badge count messages. theyre kind of useless.
looked around either watch and phone (redmi note 5 prime with miui 9.something) and also online android forums but could not find how to change it.
You won't be able to do this using the stock app notifications, at least not in current version. You should try a third party solution, there are some available (3 as of now, 2 free and one with trial version: WatchDroid, AMF - Better Amazfit Notifications and Notifications for Amazfit).
