Strategy for Disabling Friend Recommendation Alerts on Facebook
How to Stop Friend Suggestion Notifications on Facebook
Are you tired of receiving friend suggestions from people you barely know or don't know at all on Facebook? Here's a simple guide on how to stop these notifications and make your Facebook experience more focused and less invasive.
- Open the Facebook app or website and go to Settings & Privacy > Settings.
- Navigate to the Notifications section.
- Find the category named People You May Know or Friend Suggestions.
- Turn off the toggle for notifications from this category to stop receiving friend suggestion alerts on your phone, email, or elsewhere.
This method stops the notifications entirely, and you can also customize whether you get these notifications via push, email, or SMS if you want to keep some but not all alert types.
If you want to stop emails related to these notifications, you can also go to Notifications > Email and adjust or unsubscribe from unwanted email notifications, including friend suggestions.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the settings:
- Open the Facebook app and tap the menu icon at the top-right corner (bottom-right corner for iPhones).
- Select Settings & privacy.
- Click the Settings option.
- In the Notifications section, find the category named People You May Know or Friend Suggestions.
- Click People you may know in the Notifications settings.
- Toggle off the Allow notifications on Facebook option.
- Click the blue Turn off button to confirm the change.
It's important to note that the suggestion feature for friend suggestions remains in the background after turning off notifications. These suggestions are often random and unnecessary.
By following these steps, you can reduce distractions on your Facebook app, clear out your notifications tab, and focus on interacting with the people you actually care about.
