Do you believe that the more Facebook notifications you receive, the more friends and pages you follow? Although some notifications are beneficial, many are not required.
Here, we’ll go through how to remove Facebook notifications as well as how to change your settings so that you only see the alerts that are truly essential to you. You can manage your notifications whether you use Facebook on the web, on a mobile device, or both.
Delete Facebook Notifications
Both on the site and in the mobile app, you have the same options for eliminating Facebook alerts.
- Access your notifications as you usually do. In the mobile app, select the Notifications tab, and on the web, use the Bell icon on the top right.
- Select the three-dot icon to the right of the notification. On the web, you’ll need to hover your cursor over the notification to see the three dots.
- Pick Remove this notification in the drop-down menu.
The notification in question will thereafter be deleted from your list.
You might also have other options, depending on the notification type you get. You can stop receiving alerts about that specific item in the future by taking these actions.
Here are a few instances:
- For comments you receive on your status, you can use Turn off notifications about this status.
- For comments you receive on a photo, you can use Turn off notifications about this photo.
- For memories, you can use Turn off notifications about memories to look back on.
- For a Facebook group you’ve joined or a post you’ve commented on, you can use Turn off notifications about this post.
- For a Facebook page you manage, you can use Turn off notifications about new Messages for this page or Turn off all notifications from this Page.
Access Your Facebook Notification Settings
Both the mobile app and the website’s notification settings are the same. When you use the same Facebook account across all of your devices, any settings you modify are automatically synced. This is how you can get to these options.
Access Notification Settings in the Mobile App
Open the Facebook app on your Android device or iPhone and follow these steps.
- Select the Menu tab.
- Expand Settings & privacy and choose Settings.
- In the Preferences section, pick Notifications.
Access Notification Settings on the Web
On Facebook.com, opening your Notifications and choosing Notification settings from the three dots at the top is the easiest way to get to these options.
As an alternative, follow these directions to get there.
- Select your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Pick Settings & privacy and choose Settings.
- On the Settings screen, select Notifications on the left.
