Facebook tests the option to disable red notification dots
Table of contents:
There are more annoying things in this life, but the truth is that the red dots that appear as notifications in our Facebook application for notify us of any news – although most of the time we are not interested – they are also very interesting.
They call them badges, but the dots that appear on the screen are nothing more than warnings or notifications that some type of activity has occurred. They can report interesting new messages and friend requests, but sometimes all they do is alert us that someone has posted a new live video or that some kind of activity has occurredin a group you forgot you were a part of.
Sometimes these notices may appear for posts you've already seen, so the notifications end up being useless In In recent times, users have been quite irritated with the red dots, so they have searched the internet for a way to get rid of them. They have not succeeded. But now Facebook itself may grant their wish.
OMG…! Thanks Facebook!

Various options to mute Facebook notifications
The expert Matt Navarra has revealed the news via Twitter. Facebook would be testing (and this has been confirmed to some media outlets) the option to strike down those notifications in the form of red dots in the Facebook applications for iOS and Android.
In order to eliminate them, those who have tried the function say that there will be different options. From the Settings and privacy section, within the Notifications section, there will be an option indicating Notification Points. Then there will be a way to choose which notifications you want to disable temporarily or permanently. You can also silence all of them at once or at a given moment, mark them all as read.
In any case, and although they may seem like a small thing to you, the red dots on Facebook are a very important feature for this social network, which plays with these signs to try to call the attention of users and that they spend more time within the application, connecting with a group that they no longer attend or accessing the live video option that Facebook, logically, does not want to stop promote.
