    That's not a Facebook notification. It's a Suggested App notification. If you have the setting enabled, the phone will suggest apps based on location.

    OK...
    Why would it suggest an app that is already installed on the phone? If I click it, it just opens Facebook...makes no sense.

    Also, where do I turn it off? I looked it up, but the article I found was for IOS 8 which said go to Settings|iTunes & App Store.

     

    The option to turn it off is not in the same location in IOS 10 like I'm using.

    It's suggesting a app already installed on your phone that it thinks you might want to use.

     

    It doesn't appear be possible to turn it off in the same way it was under iOS 9. Some people have mentioned turning off Siri Suggestions in Widgets.
