I haven't updated to 8.1.2. I'm still on 8.1.1... for a very specific reason. Since this is [hopefully the last itme] that Apple has released such a crappy update, I decided I would wait for the red notification badge showing "1" over the Settings app before I updated. I've been told elsewhere that it doesn't show up immediately, that it shows up after some time. Well, it's seven days since the update went live and I have yet to see that red badge on the Settings app. I would turn badges on for Settings app but there is no option to turn it on or off?seems like it will always be on.
Any idea why this badge isn't showing up? I Googled around and I found a large number of issues about the badge not going away (not necessarily for this particular update), but I have yet to see someone having the issue that the badge isn't showing up. I've gone into the App Store various times and into Settings > Software Update various times. I've rebooted the phone (cold boot)...
