Facebook emerged as one of the most popular social media websites. And we love it; there is no qualm in accepting it, right? Well, as much as we love to connect, there is always a section of stuff that we don’t like to appear on our timeline or news feed. However, Facebook does no discrimination in showing us notifications about everything. The ‘Live video’ feature has also become a regular item in the notification menu. We get a notification every time a friend, page, or group goes live. Most of us do not like it (every. damn. time). Sigh. You don’t need to worry now, as we are here to help you in combating this issue along with a bunch of others.
Thankfully, the social media giant has tweaked its settings menu and made it easier for regular folks to customize notifications. Here is a complete guide to tweaking notifications for your FB account. But, before you proceed, we would like to enlighten you that this is possible only on the desktop site. Here is the link that will take you directly to the settings menu.
