facebookmacmacosnotifications
Is it possible to selectively turn off the notifications I receive from Facebook on Mac OS? In the system settings "Internet Accounts" I can only enable or disable the entire notification function.
Currently I am using an app for Facebook messages and I am receiving double notifications each time a message comes in.
Just of note that Facebook is notorious for being extremely flakey when delivering notifications of any kind (whether they be system wide through the home screen icon, or even in-app). If you have Push enabled on both devices, the problems could lie within Facebook.
Also note that it may (read: should) be the case that when you check your account on one device, the notifications should disappear on the other, as they will be marked as read.
Additionally, it could be that Facebook's servers deliver a notification only once to any waiting device capable of handling them (remember they have millions of users to contend with). You'll have to contact Facebook to make certain of this however.
You can use mail to test it. If you send yourself an email, do you receive notifications on both devices? If you read the mail, do they disappear (get marked as read) on both devices?
Turns out I was wrong; you can configure this on iPhone.
As the guide on this page taught me:
Now, in my case it was probably Nearby Friends that I mostly wanted to disable. I ended up turning off some others too:

The setting in macOS is an all or nothing.
