The back-and-forth between those involved in the Facebook chat can pretty much overwhelm any browsing your are engaged in via your feed. Heaven forbid you engage in a group discussion on Messenger that becomes very active. I now exactly how she feels and have had times when I just wanted to completely turn off Facebook Messenger completely. Unlike most people on facebook, I am responding to business, client questions, and trying to make a living. So pissed that this issue is wasting my time. I constantly have to “x” them out, but when I navigate to another page, they pop up again. Each time I click on a notification, the browser then takes me to that page, and with that navigation, the last 3, or more, messenger windows pop up again, taking up real estate on my monitor. My frustration isn’t the notification button, but I came across your blog while searching for a solution to this issue, “why do messenger windows keep popping up, after I have read, and responded to them?” So, while on my desktop, which is where I usually am, I go through all the new facebook notifications.

It’s almost like Messenger is invading your Facebook timeline by covering up your feed, and irritating you as the conversation continues. Those annoying pop-ups that show all the conversations that are going on in Messenger. If you use the desktop version of Facebook a lot AND you use Facebook Messenger, you’ll know exactly what she’s talking about. Basically, she was looking for a way to turn off Facebook Messenger in the desktop view. Just read the comments at the bottom of that post and you’ll see what I mean.Īs a result of that post, though, another user mentioned that they weren’t so much frustrated with the Messenger notifications in the mobile app as they were with the annoying Facebook Messenger popups that occur when you are browsing the desktop site. The post quickly blew up, showing that there were a lot of people who were frustrated with getting a notification when there were clearly no unread messages to be found. A while back, I wrote a post about clearing the Facebook Messenger notification icon when there were actually no unread messages.
