How do I stop pointless facebook notifications? - JazzDemon - 08-10-2013 01:58 AM
The problem is this. Lately for some reason facebook has decided that it's of upmost importance that know when my friends post status updates or pictures to their own wall.
My iphone is constantly alerting me to this pointless stuff I couldn't give two shits about.
I've gone into 'push notification settings' and unchecked 'close friends list activity' but I still kept getting their updates. I've gone as far as deleting my entire 'close friends' list in hope that would stop it... it has not.
Somebody please help me, what should I do? It's driving me insane!!
