Helo me Android smarties! A mystery!?

[tesseract314159]

Okay I would honestly not start a new thread but I have no idea what or where this came from. Because I have been so busy over the past 12 months I have not had the time to learn what every little ping and pop coming out of my Note 2 means. I have Facebook, Gmail (alumni, personal and business accounts) and several other social media apps running. My phone made some kind of noise while I was doing some important work. I grabbed it, but it was a bit delayed and I was also distracted. When I turned the screen on (as I said I was distracted as I was in the middle of something else) some kind of notification was JUST disappearing from view. The only thing I caught in it LOOKED like it started with "A former friend..." There is nothing in my general notifications about it. I have no idea where it came from. I have only been unfriended once ever on FB (and actually the person beat me to it). However, I have no idea where this is from, or what it means. It is driving me nuts. I don't know if it was something important, something meaningless, or possibly, God forbid, something either malicious or trying to inform me about malicious intent. HELP! Please and thank you!!!!

Don't know where you are located but you mentioned Facebook so I am assuming you have the Facebook app and are logged into it.

Facebook recently started pushing Amber Alerts to their users, if your local authorities trigger an alert Facebook will in turn alert users based on their profile address. The last Amber Alert we had in this area my wife's phone started making a noise it never made before, that's when we learned of this. My daughters phone went off as well, only thing they have in common is Facebook while my son and I didn't get alerted as we dont use facebook.

My guess is there probably a setting in facebook that you can disable the alert, if in fact this is what happened to you.

it's probably one of your other several social media apps
