Introduction
Facebook Live is a great way for people and businesses to communicate in real time with friends and followers. By default, you’ll get a notification through the Facebook mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices whenever someone your either friends with or follow goes live. If you’re tired of getting the extra notifications and just want to put a stop to them, you can disable Facebook Live video notifications with a few quick taps. In this article I’ll show you how to turn off Facebook Live notifications for both your friends, and also for specific Facebook pages you follow.
Some of the images associated with the steps are included inline below. All images associated with these steps can be seen in the embedded YouTube video.
