 Once your first push notifications are sent and opened, you should start to see _Opened Push_ metrics within your Klaviyo dashboard.
 
+#### Updating the badge
+
+If badge permissions were requested when requesting push permission please use the following code to decrement the badge count when handling opened push.
+
+```swift
+if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
+    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setBadgeCount(UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber - 1)
+} else {
+    UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber -= 1
+}
+```
