How to delete Facebook notifications

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

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.

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.
