Just had a red dot appear on the phone logo on my iPhone 12mini.
Is it a warning? Can't get rid of it.

Try also rebooting your phone. If that does not work, call your mini from a landline and hang up before answering. See if it will go away then.
Definitely a voicemail notification.
Other people have had the red dot experience in the past.

That's curious. A simple red dot indicating a voicemail? But no number?
Perhaps it's been so long since I've been in single digit notifications that I do not recall this - or that it changed?

But then, even a single text message will show a '1'.

I think if you don't have visual voicemail then the phone can't know how many you have so you just get an empty red blob?
Just checked on my 13 mini — had the plain red dot without a number, also don’t have visual voicemail. I checked my voicemail, listened to two unread messages (spam calls) and deleted them. Red dot is now gone.
I didn’t have a red dot on the voicemail icon in the actual phone app, so I guess I listened to voicemails previously but didn’t delete or listen to the two I just had

Did’t see your post before I posted below. Great minds think alike!
