How to logout of messenger on mac

Facebook notifications can get completely out of hand from time to time. Not checking Facebook as frequently also saves battery life.

You can also access them via the Facebook settings panel I showed you in the first section of this roundup, where we talked about how to disable Background App Refresh and Location Services. I personally have all Facebook notifications disabled. For the sake of battery life, you should at least disable the Show on Lock screen option for Facebook notifications.

At the bare minimum, this keeps Facebook from lighting up your screen for every notification, yet all your Facebook notifications still show up in Notification Center.

Facebook can take up a lot of storage space over time. Deleting and reinstalling the app is the only way I know of to recapture that storage space.

I. WITHIN FACEBOOK MESSENGER APP

A relative of mine kept complaining that their iPhone was out of storage space. As you can see above, just deleting and reinstalling the app freed up MB of storage space. In my other article about saving iPhone battery , I advise you against flicking away apps to close them.

However annoying this solution is, if you can remember, flicking the Facebook app away in the iOS multitasker seems to be an exception to the general rule, especially in terms of the time the Facebook app spends running in the background. If you followed all the steps described above, you should find that your account was successfully disconnected logged out from Messenger. Unfortunately for iOS device users, the above method outlined for Android doesn't work on an iPhone or iPad.

Despite being able to access iOS device settings and select Messenger from the list of apps in a similar way to Android, there are no storage settings to play around with in the Messenger app settings for iOS.

As a result, your only other option for logging out of Messenger from an iOS device is to use the official Facebook app. The following method also works on the Facebook Android app if you'd prefer to sign out of Messenger for Android this way as an alternative to the method outlined above. Open the Facebook app on your device and sign into the corresponding account that you want to disconnect from Messenger. Your device name such as iPhone, iPad, Android, etc. If you don't see your device name with the Messenger label beneath it right away, you may need to tap See More to reveal more devices and platforms where you're logged in.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of downloading the Facebook app to your device because you don't have it installed already, you can simply log into Facebook. The steps are very similar to doing it via the Facebook mobile app. Already answered Not a question Bad question Other. Edit Related wikiHows.
