Facebook notifications on my watch...but not my account

I have a S7 Apple Watch and an iPhone 12 with Facebook app installed. My wife and I both have individual FB accounts, and my app is configured for "quick access" for both, but my account is the default one that opens when I open the app ( I rarely access hers).


All that said, I'm occasionally receiving FB notifications for my wife's account, and never for mine.


Any ideas why?

Hi Roscoe17,


For help with iOS notifications, test checking and adjusting your settings with the steps below found in the article here: Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support


"Change notification settings

Most notification settings can be customized for each app. You can turn app notifications on or off, have notifications play a sound, choose how and where you want app notifications to appear when your device is unlocked, and more.

  1. Go to Settings  > Notifications.
  2. To schedule a notifications summary, tap Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary.
  3. Select the apps you want notifications for in your summary, set a time for delivery of your summary, then tap the Back button at the top left. (See schedule a notifications summary.)
  4. To choose when you want most notification previews to appear, tap Show Previews, select an option—Always, When Unlocked, or Never—then tap the Back button at the top left.
  5. Previews can include things like text (from Messages and Mail) and invitation details (from Calendar). You can override this setting for individual apps.
  6. Tap an app below Notification Style, then turn Allow Notifications on or off.
  7. If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notifications summary—and turn Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.
  8. For many apps, you can also set a notification banner style and turn sounds and badges on or off.
  9. Tap Notification Grouping, then choose how you want the notifications grouped:
    • Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.
    • By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.
    • Off: Turn off grouping.

To turn off notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Siri Suggestions, then turn off any app."


If you use and sign into two different accounts on your device, check your Facebook app settings with the help of their support pages found in the links below.

Roscoe17,


As mentioned previously, contact the app developers of Facebook for help with their app. They will assist with notifications from your Facebook account versus your wife's. You can reach the Facebook app developers with these steps:


  1. "Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  2. Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button  or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
  3. The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID."
