Description

Thanks for this app! <3

Expected behaviour

Notification badge should indicate that something changed or that I have something to do.
It should be possible to dismiss the notification.

Actual behaviour

There's a "1" badge on the Nextcloud icon on the homescreen.
When I open the app, there's a "1" badge on the Files tab.
I don't understand what this badge is supposed to mean. Nothing in the app is telling me what it means. Closing/killing the app, restarting the phone doesn't make the badge go away.

Steps to reproduce

I don't know how it happened.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

A notification badge is supposed to get your attention.
It should be clear when you open the app what this badge means.
It should be possible to dismiss the badge.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the persistent badge on iOS 13.3.1 with app version 2.25.9.2 and Nextcloud 17.0.3, then trace how the app assigns and clears the Home Screen and Files-tab badges. Done means the badge explains what it represents and can be dismissed when the related notification is handled.
