Oh, The Facebook notifications, there seems to be a new one every time you open up the app. Which is why they keep you there right? Well, a new "notification" has come about. "Batch" Notifications.

How Can We Turn the "Batch Notification" off?

There are a few super simple steps, follow along to free up unwanted notifications!

Step 1:

Go to your settings within Facebook. This is where you will find all the fun options.

Step 2:

Then you are going to want to click on the "notifications" tab.

Step 3:

From here you will want to select "Tags" and a drop down will appear.

Step 4:

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!

There's an internet rumor that the "@highlight" feature on Facebook allows you to see who's following your profile.

Although it would be kind of cool to see who's been staring/gazing/stalking our profiles, no this is not true. Source
