Marketplace on Facebook can be a great place to find, buy, and sell new or used services or products. However, the Marketplace icon on Facebook's shortcut bar can be distracting, and notifications can be overwhelming. This wikiHow teaches you how to get rid of the Marketplace icon on a mobile app, and how to turn off Marketplace notifications through the mobile app and the facebook.com website.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Removing Marketplace Icons in Mobile Apps
Step 1. Start Facebook
The icon is a white "f" on a blue background or vice versa. You can find the Facebook app on your home screen, app drawer, or by doing a search.
You cannot change the appearance of the application using a web browser
Step 2. Touch and hold your finger on the Marketplace icon
The icon is a shop window in the middle of a circle. This will bring up a menu from the bottom of the screen.
Step 3. Touch Remove from shortcut bar
This is the first option in the menu, above the "turn off notification dots" option. Once you do that, the Marketplace icon will disappear from the shortcut bar. You can find it again by touching ☰.
Method 2 of 2: Disabling Notifications
Step 1. Visit https://facebook.com and log in
This method will disable notifications from Marketplace so you don't receive email, SMS, or notifications about Marketplace listings.
You can also use the Facebook mobile app
Step 2. Click the notification bell icon
Its icon is to the right of the page in the main navigation menu.
On the mobile app, touch ☰.
Step 3. Click or tap Settings
If you're using a website, this option is in the upper-right corner of the drop-down menu. On the mobile app, you'll find it under the "Settings & Privacy" heading.
Step 4. Touch Notification Settings (only for mobile apps)
Skip this step if you are using the site. This option is under the " Notifications " heading.
Step 5. Click or tap Marketplace
The segment will be expanded or opened in a new window.
Step 6. Click or tap the button next to the "Allow Notifications on Facebook" heading to toggle it Off
When notifications are disabled, the option to select the type of notification that can be used will disappear.
