How to Turn Off Notifications for Live on Android
Facebook has a number of notification settings that you can turn on or off to help control what notifications you receive. These include alerts, vibrations, ringtones and more.
How to Turn Off Notifications for Live on iOS
Facebook sends notifications to make you aware of important updates and events. These can range from red alerts (in-app notifications) to push notifications (when you don’t have the app open). But if you want to avoid receiving these, there are a few ways to turn them off.
First, turn off Do Not Disturb by turning it to Off through Settings or Control Panel. This can help to silence the phone so you can focus on other things or just take a break.
You can also temporarily silence all notifications by enabling the Silence switch on your iPhone’s left side. This will keep all notifications from vibrating until you return the switch to On.
Another option is to adjust notification settings for an individual app. To do this, launch the app and tap Notifications, then select Deliver Quietly or Turn Off.
While this method may be more effective than temporarily turning off Do Not Disturb, it won’t prevent the app from sending you notifications until you return the switch to On. You’ll still be able to see them in your Notification Center, but they won’t make noise or vibrate your phone.
If you’re on Android, you can also turn off Facebook Live notifications by visiting your profile or page and changing the default Highlights settings to Standard. This will stop you from getting a notification every time your friends or pages post something, but it won’t prevent you from seeing Facebook Live content.
One possible cause for your problem is the Facebook app’s cache files, which can sometimes become corrupt and result in notification issues. Fortunately, you can clear out the app’s cache by tapping Storage & cache on the app page. This will remove all of the app’s cache files, restoring the app to its normal function without affecting your account data.
Another possible reason for your issue is that the Facebook app isn’t running on the latest version. Luckily, updating to the latest app version is easy and free. To update, navigate to the App Store on your device or Google Play Store on your Android device and download the latest version.
How to Turn Off Notifications for Live on Pages
If you’re a fan of live videos on Facebook, you might be getting notifications when a page goes live. Luckily, you can turn these notifications off easily.
You can do this on both the Facebook app and desktop web browser. The mobile app also allows you to control the number of notifications you receive. You can choose to get a notification when a Page posts something or only get one per day.
First, open the Facebook app and mouse over the Following button. Then, click the pencil icon next to Notifications. You’ll see a couple of options here, including Highlights.
Change the Highlights option to Standard. This will limit the number of notifications you receive for a particular page, and should make you stop receiving alerts for all pages that use this feature.
Alternatively, you can disable the Live Videos feature entirely in the Facebook app’s notifications settings. It’s not the most intuitive process, but it will stop you from receiving a notification when a Facebook page goes live.
If you’re a Facebook fan on the go, you might want to make sure that you don’t miss any important updates while you’re out and about. That’s where the app’s background data feature comes in handy.
This feature is available on both iOS and Android. It’s free to enable and will help you save on mobile data.
The downside to this feature is that it can cause you to miss out on important updates from pages that you care about. To disable it on your iPhone, navigate to Settings and tap the Apps & Notifications tab.
