1.The behavior of displaying seen/unseen notifications should be consistent with the desktop to provide users with the same logic for dealing with notifications. Presently, With the Vector skinthe counter for seen notifications behaves incorrectly.
(1) Only **seen notifications **are present. The notification that are **seen**, see the greyed out badges for Alerts and Notices and the counter having some numbersshould be displayed with a number in grey color. That indicates that the notifications have been seen.{F12669493On mobile there will be no indication to a user that there are still notifications that should be marked as read.

2. Switch to Minerva skin - the bell icon without counter will briefly flash and disappear - see the screen recording. {F12669499}
The bell icon behavior should be consistent with the badges behavior - even if there are only seen notifications (or only read notifications) - the icon should communicate it users in every skin. Besides, even the icon without the counter will be a valuable link to Special:Notiifcations.
Note: Interestingly, Minerva skin displays notifications properly. In Minerva skin, see the notificaitons - the grey icon with the counter will be displayed. Re-load the page(2) **unseen** notifications
- the correct number of **not-seen** notifications is displayed in red

- opening the notifications' flyout
{F34566564}
- after the notifications' status changed to **seen** (the flyout was opened), the bell icon (without the counter) will be briefly displayed and disappearnumber 1 is displayed in grey - it should be 7.
