Facebook has a history of spamming its users. You get a barrage of warnings from the smartphone app. Daily, dozens of emails come in. Additionally, you can count on seeing a ton of fresh notifications each time you connect into the web app.
Fortunately, it’s not necessary for it to be this way. Here is the information you need to know if you want to erase Facebook notifications, clear Facebook notifications, or totally disable Facebook notifications.
Let’s start with the most crucial issue: How can you remove Facebook notifications?
The detailed methods are below if you wish to delete a Facebook notice through the web app.
- Navigate to Facebook.com and log into your account.
- Click on the Notifications bell in the upper right-hand corner.
- Find the notification that you want to hide.
- Click on the three horizontal dots alongside the notification you want to delete.
- Select Remove this notification.
On the mobile app, the procedure to erase Facebook alerts is comparable. Open the app, then select the Notifications tab. Tap the three dots and select Remove this notification after finding the alert you wish to delete.
How to Clear All Facebook Notifications
You should remove your unread alerts as soon as you log into Facebook and find a mountain of them there. The red dot representing unread alerts vanishes when you click the bell icon.
You haven’t actually resolved the issue, though. When you receive a new alert, the alerts will automatically reappear if you don’t clear them. You must mark every notice on Facebook as read in order to permanently delete it.
Strangely, the smartphone app does not allow you to delete unread alerts without first clicking on each one. Instead, you must carry out the procedure using the web application.
Follow the instructions below to mark all of your Facebook alerts as read:
- Head to Facebook.com and log into your account.
- Click on the Notifications icon in the upper right-hand corner.
- Click on the three horizontal dots.
- Select Mark all as read.
How to Turn Off Facebook Notifications
The following two sections should have made it easier for you to manage your current Facebook notifications. But just half of the battle is won there. In the future, you must take care to avoid being bothered by all of that notification spam; else, you’ll find yourself right back where you started.
There are two approaches to the issue. As they come in, you can choose to disable notifications for a specific category of alerts, or you can use Facebook’s Settings menu to take a more comprehensive approach.
How to Turn Off Facebook Notifications as They Arrive
The procedure for deleting Facebook notifications is the same as the procedure for disabling Facebook notifications as they come in.
To understand more about the procedure via the online app, follow these steps:
- Type Facebook.com into your browser and log into your account.
- Click on the Notifications icon in the upper right-hand corner.
- Find a notification that you want to turn off.
- Click on the three dots.
- Select Turn off notifications of this type (the exact wording may change depending on the type of notification).
(Note: You will also have the option to turn off all notifications from this page if you are turning off notifications from a website.)
By launching the app, tapping on the Notifications tab, and choosing the three dots next to the relevant notice, smartphone users can view the same list of possibilities.
More Ways to Make Facebook Work for You
One method to make Facebook work for you is to take back control of your notification settings. Yes, there is some micromanagement required, but it’s worthwhile to make the effort to make Facebook more beneficial than bothersome.
This is applicable to a large portion of the Facebook experience; the more effort you put into personalizing the app, the more fun it will be for you.
