You can also turn off notifications for the app. After adding the new icon to your home screen, you can put it back on the home screen. To customize the Facebook icon on your phone, visit the Facebook app&#8217;s settings page. For Android, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_your_Facebook_icon\"><\/span>Customize your Facebook icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t like the default Facebook icon, you can change it to one that you like. There are many websites that offer free and premium icon sets for various software, including Facebook. You can choose an older version of the Facebook icon or even an icon designed by famous artists. While it may seem illegal, using such icons for personal use is perfectly legal. Listed below are some of the ways to customize your Facebook icon on your home screen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You can rename the Facebook shortcut by clicking the hamburger icon in the upper right corner. Click the Choose Photo option. Select the icon image you want and save it to your photo library. The shortcut will then be added to your home screen. You can then remove the original icon from your home screen. To remove it, long-press it and then select the option to move it to the app library. This step will change the icon from Facebook to another app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_a_shortcut_icon\"><\/span>Upload a shortcut icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different ways to place a shortcut Facebook icon on your iPhone. First, you can drag and drop the icon to the left or right of your home screen. Then, just drag the icon back to the Home screen. After you&#8217;ve positioned it on the Home screen, you can then move it to anywhere you want it. You can even pin the icon to a folder. This is a great way to add your Facebook shortcut to your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, you can also add a shortcut to your Facebook account by tapping its three-bar icon. After that, you can customize the shortcut. After all, it&#8217;s your personal space. After all, no one else can see it! In fact, your friends won&#8217;t be able to see it unless they allow you to add their shortcuts. Once you add a shortcut to your iPhone, you can even customize it and hide it entirely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_a_shortcut_icon\"><\/span>Remove a shortcut icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are fed up with the &#8220;News&#8221; shortcut icon appearing on your Facebook home screen, you can easily remove it from your home screen by following these steps. These instructions work for Android and iPhone, too. After you remove the &#8220;News&#8221; shortcut icon, you can remove other icons from the Shortcut Bar. However, you cannot remove the &#8220;Home&#8221; and &#8220;Notifications&#8221; shortcut icons. However, you can remove the &#8220;Watch&#8221; and &#8220;Pages&#8221; shortcut icons.<\/p>\n<p>To remove Facebook shortcuts from your Android or iOS home screen, open the Facebook app and long-press the icon. If you are using iOS, you can open the app drawer and search for &#8220;Facebook&#8221; in the Spotlight search bar. From here, select &#8220;Uninstall&#8221; from the shortcut list and confirm the process by tapping &#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_notification_dots\"><\/span>Turn off notification dots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to disable notifications from apps on your home screen, you need to toggle off the Notification Dots on your Android device. In the Settings menu, go to Notifications and toggle off Allow notification dots. This feature affects all apps on your phone, including Facebook. To turn off the notifications from specific apps, long-press the area on your home screen and select Settings.<\/p>\n<p>The red notification dots are annoying, and Facebook is testing a way to disable them on certain tabs. You can toggle off the notification dots on specific tabs, such as Watch, Profile, Groups, Events, and Search. These notifications are based on what your friends and followers have been up to on Facebook. You can turn them off by tapping each of the options on the notification.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2bRa1mhej-c\" width=\"413\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"231\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Put the Facebook Icon on My Home Screen?
