Are you constantly receiving voicemail messages that don’t disappear? The issue could be different based on the handset, but typically, what is causing the issue is whether the service provider did not make the message appear as read, or there’s an error in the system.
If you’re facing this issue, I’ll help you sort it out. In this post we will discuss various ways to get rid of these false alerts.
How do I get rid of an Voicemail Notification that won’t go away?
There are a variety of methods to address this problem. They include:
1. The Restart of Your Mobile
This simple technique is among the most popular methods to resolve a lot of issues with phones. phones tend to slow down in performance and begin to behave badly when they are left for longer without an update.
Here’s how you can restart your Android device:
- Hold the Power button until the Shut-off menu appears
- After your mobile has been turned off, switch it on again.
It is possible to restart an iPhone is a little more difficult than restarting an Android:
In iPhone X and newer models
- Use any volume button as well as the Side button
- The power-off slider should take a while to show up, and then move it when it does.
- When it is been turned off Press the Side key to turn it back on.
For iPhone 6,7,8 as well as the SE (2nd generation)
- Hold and press the Side button. Press and hold the Side
- The power-off slider should take a while to show up and then drag it as soon as it appears.
- After it has been shut off then press the Side button to turn it on again.
iPhone 5 and earlier models, as well as SE (1st generation). iPhone 5 and earlier models and SE (1st generation)
- Hold the button on top and press it.
- Watch for the power-off slider to show up and then move it when it does.
- When it is been shut off then press the Side button to turn it back on.
2. Re-Enable Voicemail Notification
Re-enabling voicemail notifications might help. This solution was easy and efficient, as all you need to accomplish is
- Find the voicemail icon in the the application manager
- Uncheck and then check “Show Notifications”
3. Clear Phone App Data
If you delete data the process erases the application’s data, but it does not cause the loss of any voicemails stored on the server of your network provider. Sometimes, the voicemail app could be inoperable and this easy procedure can cause the alert to disappear.
What is the best way to clear the app’s data? It is possible to remove caches.
Here’s how to remove cached app data on an Android:
- Go to Settings
- Tap Storage
- Under the Device Storage Select Internal Storage
- Click for Cached Data
- A prompt will appear asking you if you’d need clear data
- Tap clear data
Here’s how to erase caches from apps on iOS:
- General Settings > Settings
- Tap the iPhone storage
- Select the program you are interested in.
- Click Offload
- Confirm
Then, you must reboot your phone.
4. Double-Check Your Voicemail
What if you get an audio message and you are sure that it is authentic? Doing a double-check to confirm this could help you save a lot in time as well as effort.
Here’s how to verify your voicemail:
- Tap to enter the notification bar.
- Tap on any of the latest voice messages available
Another trick to try is to create a new voicemail for yourself. While this may seem an unusual method calling yourself and leaving an audio message and listening to it and then erasing it, could make the message disappear. Do not, however, make use of visual voicemails to erase the message.
Here’s how you can accomplish this:
- Make sure you have a second cell phone, and dial your number.
- Call the voicemail and leave a message
5. Force-Stop Visual Voicemail App
The latest voice message notification could be the result of an isolated, random software issue. You can resolve the issue by shutting down the voicemail application.
This is the way to close this on Android:
- From the bottom, swipe up to access the The app’s preview.
- Find the voicemail preview application
- Tap to close it.
Here’s how to stop the application on iOS:
- Scroll down to open the App Preview
- Up swipe and down to end the call app Preview
6. Uninstall applications
Apps for phones may be the root of your issues. If you are experiencing issues when you download a new application on the Play Store, chances are that it’s the cause of the incorrect notifications. It could be caused by a game, weatherapp, or any other app, and I would recommend blocking it or removing it to prevent your phone from being a mess.
If the problem with voice messages originates from an app that you’ve recently downloaded a number of apps It could be difficult to pinpoint the cause until you start the safe mode.
What is safe mode you might ask? It’s a feature to protect your phone. your phone is not running third-party software. If you switch to safe mode but don’t get the annoying voicemail message You’ll be able to figure out the reason.
Here’s how to activate secure mode in your Android phone:
- Hold and press the Power button for a few seconds.
- Turn Off Power
- You should wait for your device to restart. The Safe-mode prompt will appear.
- Confirm
Here’s how to switch to the safe mode of an iPhone:
- Hold the Power button till the power-off slider is visible.
- Hold and press the power off button until you can see the safe-mode prompt.
- Select the safe mode
- Confirm
Once you know which app is responsible You can quit safe mode and restart your phone. After rebooting, you can you can remove the app that is in question by pressing long-pressing on the app on the home screen, and then clicking “remove” or “uninstall”.
One of the major selling features of iPhones is the fact that Apple is very strict with the apps they allow into its App Store. However it is possible that you download a flawed or even malicious application to your Android. This is especially true because you can download APKs from the internet for Android phones.
7. Factory Data Reset
If neither of the options above work, it is recommended to reset your phone. It erases all settings and data. The intention is to erase any modifications that could have caused the notification. There is no better method to accomplish this than a factory reset of data.
Before proceeding by resetting your device, you’re advised to backup all of your data. Each of Android as well as Apple devices come with auto-backup features. Verify that you’ve turned them on.
After getting this out of the way Let’s discuss the method of factory setting your iPhone:
- Settings > General
- Tap Reset
- Select to erase all content and Settings
- You could be asked to provide the passcode for your mobile’s security
- Confirm
If you’re an Android user this is how to do the factory reset
- Settings
- Scroll to the bottom and click System
- Click Reset to reset the system.
- Click Erase all data
After that, you’ll need to configure your device as if it were fresh.
Sometimes the reset settings could be in a different spot. In that situation, search for “reset” within the search bar in the settings section and then tap “erase any settings”
8. Connect With The Wireless Provider You Use Wireless Provider
Finally, if the factory reset fails to perform, you should get in contact with your provider of network services to assist in resolving the issue on their own.
It is possible that they are having problems with their phone services. This issue with the network could be the reason why the voicemail icon appears repeatedly.
FAQ
I’ve provided answers to some frequently asked questions in the following.
Why won’t my voicemail notification Be Gone?
This could be because of several factors. One reason is that the application for visual voice messages may be experiencing issues. Also, an application from a third party could have gotten hacked. This could be because of a minor issue with software in your phone’s operating system , too. The problem with the software could keep alerting you to old notifications that include old voice messages.

Hope you find this guide for troubleshooting useful. My suggestions will assist you in resolving the latest voice message issue regardless of the device you are using regardless of whether it’s an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, iPod Touch or OnePlus.
As previously mentioned the phone might display new voicemail messages due to the fact that the system applications or operating system is not working properly. Also, your cell provider might not have registered a message it received for reading. There’s a possibility that even though the voice message may be old the message could be fresh. Check it out by opening it.
