Here’s an easy guide on how to stop Facebook group notifications. Stopping group notifications on Facebook can be done as fast as possible.

Hence, today, I will show you how.

---

When you join a new group on Facebook, you’re automatically subscribed to all notifications by default.

That means your notifications feed can be littered with unnecessary alerts every time someone posts something to that group.

Luckily, Facebook gives you the option to disable these annoying behaviors. You just have to know where to look.

How to Stop Facebook Group Notifications

If you’re receiving too many notifications from a Facebook group and want to stop them, follow these steps:

1. Open Facebook: Log in to your Facebook account using the app or a web browser.
2. Navigate to the Group: Go to the group for which you want to stop notifications.
3. Click on “Notifications”: On the group page, locate the “Notifications” button (usually near the top) and click on it.
4. Choose Notification Settings:
   • All Posts: If you want to receive notifications for all posts in the group, leave it as is.
   • Highlights: This option sends notifications only for important posts.
   • Off: Select this option to stop all notifications from the group.
5. Save Changes: Make sure to save your preference by clicking the appropriate button (usually labeled “Save” or “Done”).

Remember that you can adjust these settings anytime if you change your mind.

How to adjust notifications for Facebook groups on iPhone and iPad

1. Launch the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap the hamburger menu in the bottom right corner of the app (it looks like three stacked lines).
3. Scroll down and tap on Settings.
4. Tap Account Settings.
5. Tap Notifications.
6. Tap Group posts.
7. Tap the name of the group for which you want to adjust notifications.
8. Tap Off under both Notifications categories to disable notifications.

If push notifications stop but you still see updates in your notifications section, you’ll need to unfollow that particular Facebook group.

Blocking Notification Emails

You can also do this from the general Facebook group if you’d like to ensure that notifications for groups do not appear in your email message, notwithstanding the other Facebook automated email settings. Instead of clicking “Off,” click the “Preferences” link at the foot of the drop-down menu when you click the “Notifications” link on the Group setting.

A pop-up box will come with an “Edit your notifications settings” button. Then, under the All Notifications area of the new page that displays in your browser, choose the “Groups” option. Underneath is a tab that says, “Change email settings for particular groups.” Even if you aren’t on FB, you can use that page to deactivate emails from the group.

Why You Might Want to Stop Group Notifications

• Too Many Alerts: If you’re a member of multiple groups, notifications can become overwhelming.
• Irrelevant Updates: Not all posts in a group may interest you.
• Distraction-Free Browsing: Reducing notifications helps you focus on important updates.
• Battery and Data Saving: Fewer notifications mean less background activity on your phone.
