Microsoft Teams: Badging updates help find messages that count in the chat list
Microsoft Teams now displays enhanced visual indicators (purple badges and numbers) on unmuted chats and mentions to help admins and users quickly identify unread messages that contribute to the app badge count.

Microsoft's description
Microsoft Teams displays a badge on the app bar that reflects activity across chats and channels. Now, it’s easier to find and clear the messages behind that badge. Unmuted chats show a purple indicator when they affect the badge, while mentions, followed threads, and tag mentions display a purple number indicating how many items within are unread and part of the count.
