Facebook chat heads on iOS/iPhone

is there a way to get rid of this crap? what purpose does it serve?

Like the bubbles? Drag em to the bottom to get rid of em

they always keep popping up though. can you just turn them off?

should be able to in the settings, you can on Android anyway.

try top left button, and scrolling down on the bit that slides in? settings should be down there

I've got another issue with the latest update of Android - It's always fucking running even when closed.... I've got all notifications disabled, chat off, sync off, everything off (Hell I even reinstalled the app to double check I'd done it right). At yet every time I get a private message my phone pings and I speech bubble notification pops up in the corner, the fact it's constantly checking for it also means my battery is dropping at a considerably greater speed than before

 

EDIT:

 

It's hopefully this (done on the phone app rather than the website) -

Tap and then scroll to the bottom of the menu

Tap Privacy Settings > Notifications > Mobile Push

Check the things you want to get notifications about or un-check the things you don't want to get notifications about

just delete the app. simples!

Don't think that hasn't crossed my mind - alas unfortunatly it's the only method of communication to some of my family at the moment ...

Ah shame. Just have to fiddle about with the settling then. Turn off pop-up alerts?

Yeah I think I've done it (see my updated post up there ^ ) - turned all the notifications off but I missed the 'Mobile Push' thing hidden in the privacy options

ugh, cant find it on iPhone. wtf.

- Tap Home Settings > Messenger Settings > Notifications

- Uncheck Chat Heads

 

(apparently, I don't have an iPhone)

maybe it's in your settings app? I had an iPod touch a while ago and most of my app settings were in there

neither

 

don't have home or messenger settings

 

 

what a shit update

I'm listening to Call on Me by Eric Prydz right now and nothing else matters

Blackberry continues to commit seppuku by announcing they're bringing BlackBerry Messenger to iOS/Android... the one compelling feature (not for me, at least) to use BlackBerry, and they're putting it on the competition's devices. Smart move.

 

They've fallen to fourth place, with Windows Phone (LOL) beating them in market share. Sad.

Yep, it is a smart move, if you've realised that as a company you can no longer compete with the competition, and would do better in spinning yourself off as a services company, rather than a manufacturer of sub par handsets that are prone to faults (I work for a major mobile phone company here in the UK, and the amount of calls I get from customers with faulty Blackberries is astonishing).
