Can I lose my badges, move them to a new device, or hide them?

Badges are keepsakes: once you have one, it stays, even if you later delete the time, visits, or plans behind it, or a buddy leaves. Progress toward the next level is kept too when data protection mode suggests deleting old details. Your badges sync between your devices when sync is on and are included in backup files, so restoring a backup on a new phone brings them back. When imported or restored history reaches new badges, they're added quietly with one summary instead of a celebration for each, or with no summary at all when you import or restore while setting up WitnessWork. To hide badges, open Settings → Preferences → Streaks & Badges and turn off Show badges. That hides them everywhere, including from your buddies and celebrations, without forgetting them; turn it back on and they return.
