Help How to turn off Facebook notifications on Note 8?

[SenorApples]

Hey all,

Several times a day I get these Facebook notifications on my Note 8: "You have a new friend suggestion (insert random person here)." I tried turning everything off but it is still happening. When I go into notifications, everything is turned off. I have two Facebook accounts, and one of them never gets these alerts, while the second one does. When I tried to find an answer, it suggested turning off location, but this didn't work. Does anyone know how to stop these notifications? Another notif started today saying "Find more of your friends on Facebook." !?!

Thanks so much for any and all help - this is so frustrating

when you get a notification, hold down on it, press the i in the corner when it shows up, click turn off all notifications. done

Doesn't that turn off all notifications though? How do you only turn off the suggested friends ones?

Yes it does and You can't anymore

The "suggested friends" thing is totally Facebook's doing, and not Samsung or whatever. Maybe FB has an option to disable this feature?

But then why would it only be occurring on one account and not the other?

Do you get those suggestions on the other?

Could be that their algorithm reckons one of the accounts "needs" them more than the other. Is there some way of dropping a hint, like dismissing such things from the website (as you can with individual ads)? Though I've never had a notification for friend suggestions (spam friend requests will give you them, of course, but that you can turn off notifications for).

Apps run independently from one account to another also per app per phone ...
Check all of your settings for Facebook to see if they match up
