Hello,
The 2 may be because the caller left a voicemail or you may have a missed call from some time ago that never got cleared. Could you please let me know what Carrier you are using for your phone service?
Why does the Phone app get a (2) badge when I miss a call?

Every time I miss a call, my Phone app gets a (2) badge. If I open the Phone app, see who I missed the call from, and then close the app, the badge reduces to (1). If I do the exact same thing - open the app, look at the call list, and close the app - the badge goes away. Is it just double-counting missed calls or am I missing something? In our tests, the caller did not leave a voicemail.

2020-09-17T22:32:15+00:00 I just noticed that I answered a call and the phone app still got the (2) badge, though in this case opening the app once made the badge go away. Why am I being notified about calls that I actually answered? Maybe I don't know what the (2) represents; on Windows Phone it was the number of missed calls...
