Remove balloons from apps when reading notifications with Pigeon (tweak)

And we keep talking about tweaks before time passes again and we do not know anything when it will be available for iOS 11, because everything seems to indicate that it will be a long time. Today we are talking about a tweak called Pigeon, a tweak that should be included natively in iOS, since it allows us to remove the balloons from the applications once we have read the notification we have received, since it does not make any sense that they continue to be displayed when we have already read them, even through the Notification Center.

As we can see in the image that heads this article, we can slide our finger over each notification and notify the application that we have read it and that it must stop showing that damn balloon that never leaves, as long as we have read all the notifications . If we have only read 2 of 4, will update the number displayed by the balloon showing only half. In this way, it will not be necessary to enter the application to be able to eliminate the balloon, saving a significant amount of time throughout the day.

To update the number displayed in a balloon we must click on Clear, sliding the finger to the left of the notification. If we proceed to delete all notifications, the balloon number will remain the same and will be updated. Will we ever see this option on iOS natively? At the moment in iOS 11 it seems that it is still not available. Let's see if Apple gives us a joy and in the final version if this option is available, although if it has not done so today I do not think it will do so at this point.

Pigeon does not offer us any configuration options, since it starts working as soon as it is installed. To do so, we must go to Cydia, and look in the BigBoss repo where is available for download free of charge.
