If you don't play Candy Crush Saga , or any other Facebook game for that matter, but you keep getting requests for lives and items from your Facebook friends, you're probably past frustrated. I've even seen some friends delete people or unfollow them simply to stop the never ending stream of game requests. Unfortunately, sometimes people don't realize they're spamming their friends. Luckily, there's an easier way to stop game requests than deleting or unfollowing your friends.

You can repeat this process for email, text, message, and on Facebook too so you stop app and game requests everywhere. Keep in mind that this blocks requests from all apps, not just games. It doesn't mean you won't receive notifications for apps you've added yourself, but just ones other people send you that you haven't added on your own first.

This should stop that particular game from feeding into your news feed. Occasionally I've even seen a block options for game notifications but when I actually see that option has been very sporadic. Hiding a game seems to suppress all notifications for it though. Keep in mind that if there is a game that you have installed on your iPhone or iPad and you have linked your Facebook account, you'll have to unlink it or you'll just be routed to that app to check the notification.

If anyone else has stumbled across a better way to block games right form their iPhone or iPad, be sure to let me know in the comments!
