On Facebook, you have a little bell on the top, just right of centre. you get a number in white font, with a red background on top of that little bell.

On Twitter, you have on the left sidebar.

On Instagram you have a heart on the top right.

My bank, same thing.

If there is an update, put something on top. In fact, WordPress does have it. two circular arrows pointing at each other. Around the top left.

Why do we need to see these annoying admin notification spam.

The whole "subscribe to newsletter", "you have been using xyz plugin for a while, rate the plugin" type messages...............................it is so annoying. Get rid of them.

Let's forget the fact that some kind of tracking must be occurring for you to know I have been using xyz plugin for a while. So much wrong there.

Every month I get a notification that my credit card statement is ready and available online for me to check. It's on the top right of my bank's admin account dashboard page.

GET RID OF ADMIN NOTIFICATIONS. Put them all in a small icon that shows you how many notifications there are in a number.

I would take a screenshot but I have no updates right now on my WordPress sites. Sorry.
