How do I change the type of notification I receive when someone asks to be my friend, leaves me a comment, or tags me in a photo?

You can choose how you want to be notified when people ask to be your friend, leave you comments, tag you in photos, and more. And you can choose where the notifications are sent.

To change what types of notifications you receive

  1. Go to the notifications settings webpage.

    You might need to sign in with your Windows Live ID.

  2. Under Settings, click Show details, and then select the check box for each type of notification you want to receive.

  3. Click Save.

Go to privacy settings
