+
+CometChat's Enhanced Push Notification payload includes an `unreadMessageCount` field (a string) representing the total unread messages across all conversations for the logged-in user. Use this to set the app icon badge and enrich local notifications.
+
+### 6.1 Enable unread badge count on the CometChat Dashboard
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Navigate to Push Notification Preferences">
+    Go to **CometChat Dashboard → Notifications → Settings → Preferences → Push Notification Preferences**.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Enable Unread Badge Count">
+    Scroll to the bottom and enable the **Unread Badge Count** toggle.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+This ensures CometChat includes the `unreadMessageCount` field in every push payload sent to your app.
+
+### 6.2 Clear badge count when app becomes active
+
+Add the following to your `SceneDelegate.swift` to reset the badge when the user opens the app:
+
+```swift
+func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
+    // Clear badge count when user opens the app
+    UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
+    print("Badge count cleared")
+}
+```
+
+### 6.3 Update badge count from push notifications
+
+Update your `AppDelegate+PN.swift` to handle badge count updates in both foreground and background states:
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="Foreground notifications">
+```swift

+    _ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
