How To Turn Off Facebook Email Notifications On Iphone

Facebook is excellent for keeping in touch with family and friends, but sometimes it can feel a little too in touch.

Maybe you don't want to know every time your politically zealous college friend creates a status. Or maybe you're a member of an extremely chatty Facebook group and you're tired of the notifications blowing up your phone. You don't want to block them, but you do want to mute them without having to leave the group and hurt some feelings — thankfully, Facebook has made that possible.

You can turn off Facebook notifications.

How to turn off Facebook notifications

1. Go to 'Settings'
2. Select 'Notifications'
3. Edit Facebook notifications based on device
4. Click the toggle buttons next to the notification type to 'Off'

If you have a Facebook marketing strategy, which includes a Facebook business page that you do want to receive notifications about, you still can. Facebook allows you to pick and choose which notifications you receive on what device.

TIP: Not sure if using Facebook for business is the right choice for you? Read reviews from peers to help you make the best decision for you.

I'll go over the different ways to turn off Facebook notifications on mobile (skip ahead to mobile now) and desktop, so no matter where you are, you can have control over your notifications.

How to turn off Facebook notifications on desktop

Let's say you're working from home on your laptop and are distracted by Facebook notifications popping up in the corner every 15 minutes. That's not great news for your productivity, and if a deadline is looming on the horizon, you'll quickly become frustrated. Let's turn those notifications off while you're on your laptop!

1. In Facebook, go to 'Settings'

The easy-to-miss downward arrow in the menu bar is where you'll find the option to navigate to 'Settings.'

2. Click on 'Notifications'

Once in 'Settings,' find 'Notifications' in the sidebar on the left.

3. Edit Facebook notification based on device

Choose which device you'd like to change the notifications for. In the above example, you'd want to click on 'Desktop and Mobile' to change the way you receive notifications while working on a laptop.

4. Click the 'Turn Off' button next to the notification type you want to turn off

In this example, you can turn off individual Facebook notifications such as changes to an event you joined or comments on posts you're tagged in. You can also turn off all notifications on your desktop by clicking the very first 'Turn Off' button next to Chrome.

While you're here, you might as well update your notification preferences in the other categories: on Facebook, e-mail, and text message.

Congratulations! You've turned off Facebook notifications on your desktop.
