You can delete Facebook notifications from your Notifications tab on a computer or mobile device. Reuters

Many people use Facebook as a platform to celebrate life milestones. A new job, a new baby, a new house — whatever the event, it’s often the go-to place to let your friends and family know what’s going on in your life.

Unfortunately, those who comment on your posts are signing themselves up for days of notifications, as everyone you know comments as well. It’s more of a disincentive to comment than anything else.

But there are ways to comment without succumbing to the onslaught of notifications. You could, for example, go into the Notifications tab in your account’s settings and establish rules for when you want to receive alerts and when you don’t.

But you can also delete individual notifications that you no longer want to see piled up on your Notifications tab. Here’s how to do so on your Facebook account, either on desktop or via your mobile device:

How to delete notifications on Facebook on desktop


Almost all notifications can be deleted, except for automated ones like new login alerts. For all of the other ones, here’s how to get it done:

1. Go to your Facebook account.

2. In the upper right corner, click the notifications symbol (the bell).

3. Find the notification you want to delete and tap the three dots in the right corner of that notification.

4. Select Remove this notification.

You may see other options, depending on the kind of notification. For example, on public groups, you may have the option only to receive notifications from friends.

The process is generally the same as it is on the desktop version, with only a couple small differences:

1. Open your Facebook app.

2. Toggle over to your notifications, located on the right side of the top toolbar (it looks like a bell).

3. Next to the notification you want to delete, tap the three dots.

4. Tap Remove this notification.
