NEW YORK, NY (Fox2Now) — Facebook was a lot easier to use and understand a few years ago.
Managing its growing sea of features can be daunting, but there are ways to make the social network more to your liking.
Here are 12 tips and ideas:
1. Reduce notifications
You can’t get rid of all notifications on Facebook’s website. But you can disable a lot of them.
Go into your Settings, and click on Notifications. Once you’re there, adjust the alerts you want to get on your computer and your phone.
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t let you disable email notifications through Settings. You have to click Unsubscribe to every type of notice until you stop receiving them.
