No icon badges - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Since updating to Oreo I haven't seen any icon badges on the home screen.
Notifications are on.
I've tried the 'with number' and 'without number' settings, but nothing shows.
Any ideas please?
Which app controls this?

No-one else has this problem? I have no icon badges at all.
What app controls this?

Multiple notifications icon won't disappear.

Do you know when you have multiple notifications you get that little speech bubble in the title bar? Well, even after tapping it and acknowledging the notifications it stays there. I have to soft reset to remove it.
Is it just me, or has someone else experienced this, or got a solution?

Hiding of sensitive information!

There is no such option which I found using which we can hide the sensitive information from our lockscreens in the lenovo k3 note. Am I missing something? Or, is there a fix to this problem?
Thank you!
Not sure what "sensitive information" you are referring to. My lock screen shows
notification bar
wireless operator names
time/date
There is an option in "Settings -> Lock screen" to enable/disable the display of the wireless operators.

I meant, in other lollipop devices on the lockscreen we can choose to see only "unread messages" and "content hidden" notifications.. But here all the messages are displayed on the lockscreen itself.. Any way around it?
The only messages I have seen on my lock screen come from the notification bar and there is an option to disable the ability to pull down the notification bar on the lock screen. Other than that I have no other suggestions.

Second screen tied to notification drawer

For years I have hidden the notification drawer on the top of the screen, most of the info there is duplicated in my widgets, and I just don't like the clutter. However with the V20, hiding the notification drawer also turns off my second screen...which then gets rid of one of the marquee features of this phone.
I've tried on multiple launchers (Nova and Next), and the same result. I've tried permanently hiding it, and using gestures to toggle on and off.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Any rooted users know if this is a problem after root? This one little problem annoys me to no end.
Thanks a lot.
I'm on a non-rooted Verizon V20.
There is a setting that might help that allows it to be active when the display is in fullscreen mode. It's meant for videos so it might not have full functionality.
I'm rooted and I get the same thing. I use Nova and the "toggle notification bar" shuts the second screen off along with the notification bar. I don't know why they're tied together like that, it's annoying...
The second screen's "show time while content is shown" option will leave it on with the notification bar toggled off, but it doesn't do anything, it just shows time and notifications up there. You can't scroll it to get to anything.

Full notifications on AOD?

Hi!
Whenever I receive a notification, the AOD shows an icon for the relevant app.
I would like to see a detailed notification, like who sent the message and a preview, not just an icon.
I've already went into the AOD settings and made sure "hide content" and "notification icons only" are not ticked, but no change.
I have the G950U1, lock screen enabled and AOD enabled. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Would really appreciate help.
That is how it is supposed to work. There's no official way to show the whole notification on AOD other than if you enable Edge Lighting where it will display a preview for a couple seconds before disappearing leaving just the icon to double tap.
Although I am interested if there's some way to jimmy it to be more useful too.
Well, that's disappointing...
Thanks for the reply.
Go to Settings/Apps/Options (3 dots at the top right corner)/Show system apps. Go into Alway On Display, hit Force Stopp, go to Memory and delete data and cache.
Check AoD again.
Just did what you suggested.
Except for now constantly showing a two overlapping circles and "double tap here to find out how to use AOD", no change...
Now, how do I get rid of that icon and text and get the full notification on AOD, if that's possible?
Edit: got rid of the icon and text, but still no full notification on AOD.
Can anyone share a screenshot of full notifications on AOD?

How to turn off grouping of notifications?

I am using stock EUI 5.8.020S and most of my notifications gets grouped together under a special "..." icon in the notification bar. It is extremely annoying as I want each notification to get a separate icon. I have read that switching region to "USA" on some devices fixes this issue (bug?), but that does not work on mine. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
I also don't understand the logic behind grouping or not grouping, as both Facebook and GMail both gets their own icon, while most other apps gets grouped under the "..." icon. No setting I make seems to change this
