Disabling Annoying Friend Recommendations on Facebook
In this guide, we will show you how to stop receiving friend suggestion notifications on Facebook, while maintaining the core experience of the platform.
Step 1: Open the Facebook app and tap the menu icon, located in the top-right corner for Android devices and at the bottom-right for iPhones.
Step 2: Navigate to Settings & privacy and then tap Settings.
Step 3: Scroll down and select Notifications.
Step 4: Tap People you may know.
Step 5: In the People you may know section, toggle off the Allow notifications on Facebook option.
Step 6: Confirm by tapping the blue Turn off button.
By following these steps, you will stop receiving notifications about friend suggestions without disabling the feature itself.
It's worth noting that Facebook sometimes recommends adding people that users barely or do not know at all. Disabling friend suggestion notifications makes the Facebook app feel cleaner and less invasive, as these suggestions are often random and unnecessary.
If you wish to manage friend request notifications more broadly, you can also do this under Notifications > Friend Requests to customize or turn off notifications related to friend requests altogether.
Remember, Facebook notifies users about these friend suggestions as well. By stopping these notifications, you can reduce unwanted clutter in your notifications tab, helping you keep focus on important interactions.
