    Locate the section of the page you’d like to get Notifications for. You are limited to “Activity about you”, “Close Friends Activities”, “Group Posts” and “Notifications from apps”.
    • Also realize that you can adjust how your notifications will be delivered. Your choices are “On Facebook” (there are no settings-and will be set to all notifications), “Email” (where you can choose between many different choices of popular notifications) and “Push notifications”, a special type of notification that certain smartphones (such as Android and iPhone operating systems) can correctly interpret. This choice is also limited to a default reminder to fix your settings directly on the phone of your choice.
