Your phone’s home screen is filled with unread notifications that can be an eyesore. The majority of these push notifications are from apps, your phone service provider, or other services you’ve subscribed to. One of them is Android Voicemail notifications, which may not be an immediate priority.
If you come across it, you have probably tried to get rid of it by listening to all voicemails, rebooting or even clearing data, but it persists.
We will show you how to get rid of it.
Why do Android voicemail notifications appear
Android Voicemail Notifications is a cool feature that reminds you when you have new voicemails.
It’s a great way to keep you up to date with messages you may have missed. However, it may appear even if you don’t have voicemail or if your service provider has marked it as unread.
In the second case, the device received a notification from your carrier or network, but all the messages were marked as unread even if you checked them. The only way to manage this is to manually remove the icon by forcing your device to check for messages again.
Perhaps you’ve tried swiping or clicking and holding on the notification. However, you only find two options — set priority and hide content. Although you can disable these two options, voicemail notifications may still appear.
If nothing seems to get rid of the sticky Android Voicemail notification on your phone, read on to learn how to get rid of it.
Note:
Leave New Voicemail
Here is a simple workaround you can do to refresh the voicemail notification icon on your Android device. Once done, go back to your voicemail and delete the message you left to clear the notification.
If you notice that the voicemail icon still appears in the notification tray, try the next solution.
Clear phone app data
Step 1: Open the Settings app from your phone’s app drawer.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap Apps (or Applications/Application Manager).
Step 3: On the new screen, you will see a list of all the apps on your phone. Scroll down and tap Phone Apps.
Step 4: You are now on the Phone App info page. Find and tap Archive.
Step 5: Next, tap on the option to Clear data.
Step 6: You will get a message at the bottom of the screen – “All data of this app will be permanently deleted. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases, etc.”
If you are sure you want to continue with this step, confirm it by clicking OK. Power off your device and turn it back on. Android voicemail notifications will disappear. You can swipe down from the top of your phone screen to check for it. If it’s still there, you can swipe it to the side so it doesn’t appear on your notification tray like it used to.
Perform a factory reset
Consider this as a last resort. You should only use it if you want to erase all current settings and restore them to their factory state.
Factory reset will essentially return your device to the state it was in when you first purchased and unboxed it. It erases everything including messages, contacts, photos, apps and other data from your device.
While this can eliminate many problems on your device, it is a kernel solution compared to other targeted solutions mentioned above.
To factory reset your device, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Settings on your device and tap General Management.
Step 2: Tap Reset.
Step 3: Find Factory Reset and tap it to see what kind of data will be erased from your device.
These include your Google account, current settings, system and application data, music and photos, service provider content and apps, along with other user data. It will also list the apps to be uninstalled and the personal accounts you’ll be signed out of.
Note: If your device has Smart Switch
On stock Android devices, the path is a bit different: Open Settings>System>Reset Options>Erase All Data>Reset phone.
Step 4: Tap reset, then your device will reboot and it will be as good as new.
You can now sign in to your Google account and use your device. Hopefully the Android Voicemail notification will be gone forever and you’ll have peace of mind again.
