How To Block Facebook Apps, Games / Stop App Notifications

One of the most annoying Facebook Notifications are those Game / App requests and invitations that come from your friends. There are some ways to stop these notifications, that do not include removing that friend. Although, that could be a good solution too.


How To Stop Mobile (iPhone, iPad) Facebook App Push Notifications / Requests / Invites:

Notifications on your iPhone or even iPad should be of some importance, not someone has invited you to play some game.

1. Launch the Facebook app for iOS.
2. Tap the 'More' tab.
3. Scroll down to, and tap 'Settings'.
4. Now tap 'Notifications'.
5. Then tap 'Mobile Push'.
6. Find, and then uncheck: 'Application Requests' & 'Application Invites'.



How To Block Facebook Apps / Games: 

If you get a lot of requests from a certain app that you don't want /or use, a good option is to block that application. By blocking the app, you'll become invisible to it. Your friends will no longer be able to send you requests or invitations, and you'll no longer see the app. This is the perfect way to not have to deal with the certain app ever again.

You'll need to login to Facebook's desktop version for this method.

1. Login to Facebook. (Obviously).
2. Click the Settings Gear.
3. Then 'Settings'.
4. From the left hand-side menu, click 'Blocking'.
5. Scroll down to 'Block Apps'.
6. Type the name of the App you wish to block, and select it from the popup list.



How To Switch Off All Facebook Apps:

I would NOT recommend this, because it'll disable all Facebook apps, even the ones you may use or want to use. But, if you never want to use a Facebook application, follow these steps to switch off the Facebook App platform.

1. Login to Facebook. (Obviously).
2. Click the Settings Gear.
3. Then 'Settings'.
4. From the left hand-side menu, click 'Apps'.
5. Under 'Apps you use', where it says "Use apps, plugins, games and websites...", click 'Edit'.
6. Now click 'Turn Off Platform'. Remember to read all the warnings, and make sure you understand what doing this, will do, before you click the button.
