If you have a Facebook account and interact with your friends on a daily basis, you will be familiar with the flood of notifications you receive when the post creator or their friends comment on a status or a photo.
Facebook is quietly testing a new feature that allows users to opt-out of notifications if they have commented or “Liked” a friends update, whether it be an event, photo or status update.
Inside Facebook snagged a screenshot of the feature in action, embedded below:
