Once you've selected "tags," look for "batch mentions." From there just simply, Turn it off.


Finally, Washington Residents can breathe again! No more pesky "@highlight" mentions!

As long as you have turned off "batch mentions" you should only not receive notifications from the "group tags." But you will still receive your regular notifications. Who knows though, once I get into the "settings" domain, I always seem to find new features that clear up my Facebook experience making it more personalized!
