Wish I could permanently remove that red dot from the Threads favicon. Life is better with most app icon badges and notifications hidden, and this one is really glaring.

@jimmylittle Right, it’s frustrating because it’s so hard to get rid of. I’ve never seen an app try to override the favicon in this way. Too clever.

Yes! I’ve disabled badges in all my apps except for the Phone app. I’ve even turned off sound on messages.

@vincent Not surprising. I can’t really blame browsers for aggressive favicon caching, either.
