iPhone double notification for Facebook messages

Officially fixed the problem. I got the iPhone 11 Pro and noticed this immediately and boy was it annoying. You DO NOT want to follow the above GIF because that will just make it so you do not receive notifications at all. I fixed it by uninstalling messenger and reinstalling it. As soon as I did that it stopped sending the notification from Facebook and Messenger and now only receive messages from messenger. When you delete and reinstall you won’t lose anything either, it all comes back when you log back in. (I used to work for AppleCare ps)

Watch the GIF below, please check under facebook app settings not under iPhone Settings.

I found a solution, don’t use the GIF it’s useless. What I did was delete the apps, both then install it again, Then delete messenger alone and install it and again. It worked, I am not getting double notifications anymore.

You are correct catwipp. Please follow my instruction of just deleting the app and reinstalling it (messenger only, Facebook is not needed to be deleted). It will solve the problem, both me and my boyfriend did it and it worked!

same is happening to me but deleting and reinstalling didn't work.

I use the Facebook Pages app to manage pages, I'm getting double notifications. and it's rather annoying.

Now they have merged the pages messages to the messenger app... which does not send any notification if there's a message, I'm getting nothing.

I did that as well, still didn't work. Your business pages now come thru messenger, however won't notify of a message..... so have to use the Pages app, and each message gives a duplicate notification from pages, it's annoying

I’m having the same issue, it’s started from no where on the same phone I’ve always had.

I have deleted both Facebook and messenger. And I’m still getting the same thing.

what else can I do with out turning off al notifications

thanks

Double notification never come back as I upload everything to cloud, then reset phone to factory setting. Backup and restore via iTunes doesn’t help.

Then I cloud things back. The only trouble are reinstall apps back, but I only have a few so didn’t take long. Goodluck!

Having the same problem, uninstall and reinstall messenger’s app and it’s fixed !! Hope it will fix it for you too ;) ( and hope you will understand me ´cause I’m French )

To this on the webversion of facebook

I have the exact same problem. I can’t seem to turn it off, and it annoys me like crazy. I only want the notification from messenger, but not facebook.

Same here. Anyone find any answer yet? It's annoying the crap out of me. The GIF image that was posted as a response didn't help me.

Having the exact same issue! It’s annoying me so much but the only way I’ve found to stop it is by turning off Facebook notifications completely on your phone settings

It’s don’t fix the problem to uninstall and reinstall the app or you did for the both ?

Just uninstall Messenger only. It is what I did and it worked immediately. You don't need to uninstall both apps. Just the Messenger app :)
