To clear your Facebook notifications on your iPhone, first open the Facebook app and tap the Notifications icon, which looks like a bell. When you’re on the screen with all of your notifications, swipe from right to left over one to see the red Hide button. Tap this button to delete the notification, and then repeat the same steps for any other notifications you no longer want to see. If you want to clear your Facebook notifications on your desktop, start by opening the Facebook website and clicking the Notifications icon. Hover over a notification and click the three dots on the right side. When the pop-up menu appears, click “Hide this notification.” Since you can’t delete more than one Facebook notification at a time, you’ll have to hide each one individually.
