How to block Facebook App requests

Not all are interested in playing games on Facebook and people generally get irritated with too many notification alerts from different games or invites from different Facebook Apps.

There is a work around for this, you can block Facebook apps individually.

Follow the following steps to block Facebook app and you will stop getting notifications till you unblock it.

• Login to your Facebook account
• Click on Facebook Settings icon and click on ‘Privacy Settings’.
• On the left side click on ‘Blocking’
• Scroll down and go to ‘Block apps’
• Enter the name of an app Example: FarmVille and hit enter.
• You can always come back to this place to unblock any of the blocked app.

If you have already given an app all your details like email ID then the app owner can always send you emails even after removing authorization for the app in the App Center on your app settings. Once you block an app, you will no longer get any requests, email from the blocked app or they cannot even access any information about you unless you make it public. You always have an option to unsubscribe from the app entirely at the bottom of the email that app sends.

You even have an option to do this directly. To the right top corner you will be able to see all the requests. Move your cursor over this request and you can see cross icon. Click on it and select block. Once you block it, the blocked app will appear in the ‘Block Apps’ list under Privacy Settings.

When you block Facebook apps under Blocking, you also have options to block other stuffs like you can block a user, block invites, block event invites and the apps.
