There’s no option to remove all alerts at once, if that’s what you’re looking for.
To use this method, open your preferred desktop web web app and launchFacebook.com.
Sign in to your account if you haven’t already done so.
Then, in Facebook’s top-right corner, smack the bell icon.
In the “Notifications” menu, find the alert you want to remove or mark as read.
Then, next to that alert, pick the ellipses (three-dot icon).
In the open menu, delete your alert by choosing “Remove This Notification.”
To mark the notification as read, select “Mark as Read.”
And that’s it.
Facebook has deleted or marked your chosen notifications as read.
Open that menu by clicking the bell icon.
Then, next to “Notifications,” hit the three dots.
In the menu that opens, choose “Mark All as Read.”
All your notifications are now marked as read.
On an iPhone, this icon is in the bottom bar.
On Android, you’ll find this icon in the top bar.
On the “Notifications” page, find the alert to remove.
Then, next to that alert, tap the three dots.
In the open menu, select “Remove This Notification.”
To disable similar notifications in the future, select “Turn Off Notifications [throw in].”
And that’s it.
Your chosen notification has now been removed from your account.
you’re free to change your alert prefs on both your desktop and mobile devices.
In Facebook’s iPhone or Android app, tap thehamburger menu(three horizontal lines).
On the following page, select configs & Privacy > configs.
Then, search for “Notification” and choose “Notification prefs.”
You’ll now see Facebook’s alert prefs screen.
Here, pick the kind of notifications you’d like to manage and then enable or disable their toggles.
Facebook will automatically keep your prefs, so you don’t have to do anything.
And you’re all set.
