Nobody can argue with the fact that Facebook is a social media platform. This means that various users from all walks of life can (and do) utilise the platform for communicating with each other, for keeping up to date with news and announcements, for sharing images and memories, and so much more.
Aside from the basic socialisation aspect of the platform, Facebook also boasts a great many additional features for users who are looking for something a little more stimulating. Gaming is just one of the features that’s available to Facebook users, who can play a wide variety of games and invite their friends to get involved via the app.
If, however, gaming isn’t your thing, then we can safely assume the game requests and notifications are nothing short of irritating.
Which is where this article comes in.
Follow these 5 steps to turn off all gaming notifications and prevent friends from sending you requests and invites – without affecting your ability to play those games if you want to.
