Had the same problem. Disable and enable the notification did not solve my problem, but logout and relogin in the Opera's WhasApp Messenger solved my problem.

@leocg Just updated to version 84.0.4316.14 and I have the same problem... Temporary solution of disabling notifications and enabling them again is working, but only if I don't close and start again the browser.

@carloyotl I don't have it here. WhatsApp icon in sidebar shows no notification red dot.

@tasha1241 you could try leocg's solution, which is update to the latest version and then disable and enable the notifications.

And maybe ... check the most basic possibility. Make sure there is no unread chat thread in your WhatsApp

@tasha1241 leocg's solution is not disable and enable the whatsapp, but disable and enable the notification on whatsapp sidebar.
the steps should be :

1. click your whatsapp sidebar
2. click the 3 dots (menu) beside your profile
3. choose settings
4. choose notifications and disable all the choices available
5. reenable the choices like before
