How to choose the types of Facebook notifications you want or not on your phone, tablet and computer


Tired of receiving dozens of different Facebook notifications on your phone, tablet or computer? See how to manage and select the type of notification you want to have on your devices.

It’s hard to miss any information these days with notifications on our smart phones. It’s party time for such and such a friend, such and such an event has happened in the world, a Montreal Canadiens player has been traded, in short, we can find out everything on the go.

It’s all well and good, but on Facebook you can receive up to 17 different types of notifications. 17! That’s a lot, especially if we don’t give a damn about the majority of them.

Fortunately, Facebook finally allows us to sort the types of notifications that we want to keep or not as much on our Apple and Android devices as on our computer.

We can thus determine if we want notifications for:

  • Your account
  • Comments
  • Identifications
  • Reminders
  • Other activity concerning you
  • Friends Updates
  • Invitations
  • You may know
  • Birthdays
  • Groups
  • Video
  • Events
  • Pages you follow
  • Marketplace
  • Community well-being and safety
  • Other notifications

As we can see, the list is quite long. That’s why it’s interesting to be able to sort through all of this.
