Recently, all of a sudden, Facebook started bombarding me every day with notifications containing new friend suggestions.
Thanks, but no thanks!
Fortunately, there’s a way to stop this notification, and I’ll show you how to do it on both the website and mobile app.
Stop New Friend Suggestion Notifications on the Facebook Website
If you want to turn off friend suggestion notifications on the Facebook website, then here’s what you need to do.
Step 1
Click on the drop-down arrow and access the Settings.
Step 2
Click on Notifications on the left sidebar.
Step 3
Click on People You May Know and either turn off the friend suggestion notifications entirely or only choose to stop receiving them in specific places.
That’s it! After I disabled them, I didn’t receive any more notifications of that type.
Stop New Friend Suggestion Notifications on the Facebook App
Here’s what you need to do to stop friend suggestion notifications on Facebook’s mobile app.
Step 1
Click on the hamburger menu and go to Settings & Privacy > Settings.
Step 2
Scroll down to the Notifications section and select Notification Settings.
Step 3
Select People You May Know.
Step 4
Turn off the new friend suggestion notifications entirely or only from specific places.
That’s it! That type of notifications should stop now.
That’s a Wrap
