How To Manage Your Facebook Notifications

A friend of mine asked how to “stop all those emails from Facebook about his friends stupid status updates.”  He may have thrown in a couple of swear words too.  I told him I’d look it up and help him out, so here you go…

How to Manage Your Facebook Notifications, complete with pictures and a disclaimer*.

Let’s start with the disclaimer:

*These instructions were current on Sunday afternoon 7/26/15 and subject to change without warning from Facebook, just like everything else that Facebook does.

Step 1.  Go to your page and open the privacy shortcuts. Then click on See More Settings.

Step 2.  You want to go to the Notifications section.

Step 3. This is where you can customize How you are notified and What you get notified about.  My friend wants to stop the emails.

Step 4. Stopping all the emails is not recommended. But you can reduce the volume by selecting the 3rd option.

There you have it.  This was done on my laptop.  If you want to know how to do this from your phone, Google it.
