How to Manage Notifications in Messenger on Windows 11
Messenger notifications on Windows 11 let you know when someone messages or calls you. The Messenger Desktop app is a separate program from Facebook that allows you to chat, call, and share files without using a web browser.
You can control how these alerts appear, including turning them all off or on at once. This is useful if you need to focus on work or want to stay updated on important messages.
The app provides several options, such as changing your online status and controlling message previews. You can also easily mute or unmute all notifications with a few clicks.
Access Messenger settings in the desktop app to manage notifications. You can choose to turn all notifications off, or customize sounds and pop-ups for messages and calls to suit your needs.
Turn all notifications on or off in the Messenger app
As mentioned above, users can turn all notifications on or off in the Messenger app on Windows. When off, they won’t receive any notifications from the app.
