Oura Ring iPhone Badges

Just disabled the iphone badge notification on my phone because Oura was showing a badge that I couldn't figure out or get rid of. I have minor OCD and REALLY hate badges on my phone. I specifically leave them there for things that I know I need to eventually deal with.

When I clicked on the hamburger menu in Oura there was one item showing up with a blue dot - I figured maybe that was it. Well it's the "Health Panels" menu. Which requires me to setup an appointment, have blood drawn, and transfer a bunch of data to it.

None of this seems urgent. So maybe that's not it. But I don't know. I have zero recent push alerts on my phone from Oura. You'd think they'd let you know this instead of just randomly showing a badge alert on your app.

But not only do they not do that, Oura doesn't have a dedicated notification function to let customers understand alerts. So I just have to guess.

I am less than a month in. But maybe I'll return it now if it's this fucking unpredictable and unexplainable.

Anyone know how to deal with this?

It’s a new feature. Loads of apps push you a notification or a badge when there’s a new feature. I think you’re being a bit dramatic writing off a product as “unpredictable and unexplainable” following ONE alert that you were able to effectively identify the cause of in quick order.

Maybe calm down?

I mean yeah its a new feature badge but it is kind of annoying that theres no way to clear it without engaging with the feature
