Keep badges aligned to the top-right Best Practice

Badges in an app serve as signals that there's something awaiting users' attention, like a new message or a reaction. Typically, these badges should be placed at the top right of icons. This consistent placement is crucial because users have grown accustomed to finding them there. It makes the app experience more intuitive.

Also, use badges thoughtfully. While they can boost user engagement by highlighting important information, excessive or annoying use may lead users to ignore them.
