I deleted the app because I was sick of getting notifications somewhere along the lines of “your friend just commented on a photo” or “your friend recently liked a post”. I tried turning off all notifications that weren’t directly related to my content and Facebook still sent me these types of notifications. So I said that I would just use the website instead of getting these notifications (at least 2 a day). I want an app that provides a means to connect with old friends rather than gossip about their comments/likes. I feel like they are doubling down on being a gossip machine.

- swozey 8y agoThis was the straw that finally made me delete everything. For a few days/week I was getting text messages for notifications even though I had them disabled and had even deleted the app (deleted app out of the frustration you mentioned). I couldn't escape it. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/16/17022162/facebook-two-factor-authentication-sms-notifications-security-bug https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/16/17022162/facebook-two-fac...
- NeoBasilisk 8y agoOh, so it was a bug, huh? I found it so irritating that I just removed my phone number from my facebook account altogether, because I couldn't find any setting that would make them stop texting me.
