Link Safe

Removing the game from your phone isn’t enough as you probably still have the application installed on Facebook. Candy Crush players can send you requests at any time, and if you don’t entirely remove yourself from the game, they won’t know not to continue sending you the requests.

The simplest way to avoid the troublesome requests is to block the Candy Crush Saga app on Facebook. Sign into your Facebook account using your browser and select the small cog icon in the top-right corner to drop down a menu. Here, select Account Settings.

Now, on the left-hand side of the page, select Blocking. This will present you with five different types of blocks you can place on your account. The bottom one is for blocking apps, and here you can prevent any chosen app from being able to contact you or access your information.

To add Candy Crush Saga to the list, start typing the name of the app into the box next to ‘Block apps’. You’ll then be able to select the app you want from a drop-down list of apps matching what you’ve typed so far.

When you’ve done this, Candy Crush Saga will show up in a list of blocked apps. If you want to unblock the app at a later stage and resume playing, you can click the ‘unblock’ link next to your chosen app. Alternatively, if you want to turn off the notifications without blocking the app,

you can wait until you receive one, then hover your cursor over the notification.
