Facebook notifications driving me mad.

You should be able to turn the notifications off from the settings on your phone I think. If I go to settings and notifications on my iPhone, I have the option to turn off what I don’t want. The other option is to try and change the sound so it isn’t the same as the text message.

You can turn off push notifications using your phone's settings

Groom - I turned off notifications on my 'phone then sent a text from my OH's 'phone and, of course, no bleep (or Zebedee boing as my OH call's my alert), so that's no good, I won't know when I do receive a genuine text.

Falkryn -  As per the instructions below:

    Go to your device settings.

    Turn on or off notifications from Facebook.

That's what I tried originally, but as I mentioned I don't have a Facebook app on my 'phone, so I can't get past Application manager

I've already tried that and posted a copy of what I get - oops just noticed it didn't attach itself so I'll try again.  There is no way I can tap to adjust how I get notifications or what I get notified about on my 'phone.  I've turned off all the other notifications possible so I don't get texts and I don't get pop ups on my laptop.

Falkryn - Oh it did attach oh well, and when I click on Learn More it just takes me to a similar page as the link you gave me.

What operating system is your phone iOs (Apple) or Android (nearly everybody else)

[LizzieW]

It's android version 6.0.1. Moto G (3rd Generation)

OK, so on my 'phone I click on Settings, then under the list of Devices there is Display, Sound & Notification, Apps, Storage & USB, Battery, Memory.  I click on Apps and get a list of Apps.  So far so good, BUT, I've just realised I don't have Application manager.  However, I clicked on something called Android System WebView where there is something called Notifications which I clicked on as follows:

Block all - Never show notifications from this app (turned off)
Treat as priority - Let this app's notifications be heard when Do Not Disturb is set to Priority only (turned off)
Allow peeking  Let this app emphasise certain notifications by sliding them briefly into view on the current screen (turned on).  Is this the culprit?

Groom - this is not the same notifications that I turned off on text messages.

Sounds as if it could be, try turning that off.

I had to fiddle around with my phone quite a bit when I got a new one recently, as I realised that my emails, texts, Skype messages were appearing as notifications for all to see,  even when the phone was locked.

[LizzieW]

I'm going to turn that off and see what happens.  I guess if Facebook has only just started these Push Notifications it hasn't been a problem before. 

The other problem is my 'phone made by Motorola, it seems it's not possible to change things on the 'phone that can be changed on other Android 'phones and, for instance, you can't use a tune of your own choosing as a phone tone, there's no way to do it you have to use the default tones of Motorola.  I thought it was just me but when I looked on line I saw it was a problem for lots of people and there's no way round it.
