What is the Red Number on App Icons?

The Red Numbers that appear on App icons whenever a notification is received for the Apps are known as Badge App Icons in iOS. In general, Badge App Icons indicate the number of unread or unopened notifications.

Other times for app icons like the App Store, the Red Number indicates the number of apps that you need to update.

Whatever maybe the reason, it is really easy to remove Red Numbers from App icons on iPhone. Unfortunately, there is no option in iOS to remove Badge App Icons for all apps, you can only remove them on an app by app basis.
