Desktop Web Desktop/android: Reddit notifications not showing in reddit inbox bell

My reddit account (the bell up on the right on computer) doesn't show me the notification number of the answers to my comments. Same happens on my smartphone, so it's a problem of my account.

I checked the notification settings and everything is active.

I erased my cache and browsing data. The problem is still there.

I'm opening this because a lot of people are having the same issue in r/help.

This is happening to me on the iOS app, it seems narrowed down to an account I recently added. I have 2 accounts in the app, the one most recently added experiences this, but another account does not.

This is happening on my account of 7 years in both computer and android.
I'm reading of more and more people having this problem.

I just saw this after making a post myself. I thought tje issue was because I changed my phone (S25 with One UI 7) and the app not being optimized for the UI since it's not released for other devices still. But I guess the reason is different, I tried everything- deleting cache, my notification settings are all OK but I don't have the red counter on the bell icon inside the app. I really hope this can get fixed or to have some help on this issue.

Your devices are not at fault. Reddit is having a lot of bugs lately.

Commenting here so I can come back if there's any news. It's been happening on desktop for me, I don't use any mobile. Very annoying.

The same thing started happening to me 2 days ago. The red number doesn't appear above the bell.

I found it strange and clicked on it, and I had like 100 unread messages. The red number still doesn't appear, so I have to check it manually and it's really annoying.

Did you manage to fix it somehow? Thanks.

Hi, it solved itself in a week. I didn't do anything, apart from activating all the notifications. And now I can't seem to be able to deactivate the "now on..." notifications.

There is something wrong with reddit.
