If you have the Facebook app installed on your Windows Phone (bit.ly/1NNsWXa), you’re probably familiar with (and frustrated by) its constant barrage of birthday, event and other notifications. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to turn these off. First, swipe down from the top of your device, then tap All Settings at the top right. Next, scroll to the ‘personalisation’ section, tap ‘notifications+actions’, then Facebook. Untick ‘Show banner alerts’ (see screenshot below right) to disable pop-up messages. Likewise, you can untick Vibrate to stop your phone buzzing every time you receive a notification. If you want to turn off Facebook notifications completely, simply move the On slider to Off.
