The bell icon on the top right corner of the app is the notification center.


If you click on it, it will show all invites to events, groups, submissions, notices, etc, which require an action from the user. You will see a blue dot on the items which are new to the notification center. Once you load the notification center and even if you did not act on the items, the badge is reset to zero.

This indicates that you have a new message.


Once you click on it, the message panel will open and you will see a blue dot on the threads which have new message(s). Once you load the message panel and even if you did not open the new message(s), the badge is reset to zero.
