A lot of people like to play the games in Facebook, but they are far from the majority. Unfortunately, many games rely on players sending out invites and notifications to their friends to spread the word about the game. Sorting through these constant notifications can get tiring, but luckily there are ways to remove these notifications completely. If you play games on Facebook, you can adjust the notifications that you receive from that game. If you are getting invites and notifications from others, you can block these so that you don't have to see them anymore.
Steps
Adjusting Notifications for Games You Play
Log into Facebook. You can adjust your Notification settings from the desktop website, the mobile site, and the mobile app.
Open your Settings page. You can use this menu to change your Notification settings, among other things.- Desktop site - Click the ▼ button at the top of the page and select "Settings".
- Mobile site and Facebook app - Tap the ☰ button, scroll down, and tap "Account Settings".

Open the "Notifications" section. This menu controls all of your Facebook notification settings.- Desktop site - Click "Notifications" in the left menu on the Settings page.
- Mobile site and Facebook app - Tap the "Notifications" option in the third group of options.
Open the list of your Facebook apps. This list is all of the apps that you have connected with your Facebook account, including any Facebook games you play.- Desktop site - Click "App requests and activity" at the bottom of the page.
- Mobile site and Facebook app - Tap "Notifications from apps" at the bottom of the page.
Toggle off the apps you don't want notifications from. By default, all of your connected apps have permission to send you notifications. Uncheck an app or use the drop-down menu and select "Off". You will no longer receive notifications on your account from that app.- This does not prevent you from receiving notifications from other people. See the next section for information on blocking notifications that other users send about games.

Blocking Notifications from Friends' Games
Log into your Facebook account on your computer. The only way to block game notifications completely is to use the desktop version of the Facebook site. You can't change these settings from the mobile site or the Facebook app. You won't be able to block all game notifications permanently, but you can block individual games as you come across them.
Open your Settings page. Click the ▼ button at the top of the page and select "Settings".
Click the "Blocking" option. You'll find this in the left menu of the Settings page.
Type the name of the game you want to block into the "Block apps" field. If you're constantly getting invites and notifications from a specific game, you can enter it into the field and block it completely. You'll see a list of matching titles appear as you start typing. Select the game from the list and you will no longer receive notifications and invites from it.
Block game notifications from specific friends using the "Block app invites" field. If the majority of your game spam comes from a certain person on your friends list, you can block any future invites from that person. The person will not be notified that you have blocked game notifications, and will remain on your friends list. No other form of communication between the two of you will be affected. Type the name of the person into the "Block app invites" field and select the person from the list that appears.[1]Advertisement
