Facebook Messenger is a growing instant messaging platform that has been constantly adding new features to grow its user base. The latest addition that has gone viral is the ability to play games on Messenger with your friends. And one popular game among users is Thug Life, a real-time mafia simulator that lets you play with your friends on Facebook.

Unfortunately, the game has gained a notorious reputation for sending out constant unwanted notifications to its users, which is often counterproductive during work hours. And that’s not to mention the constant interruptions throughout your day. If you’re someone who’s fed up with Thug Life’s constant notifications and would like to remove the game from your messenger, simply follow the guide below.

Well, the setting to turn off notifications from a game — like Thug Life — was previously only available in the Messenger app. But Facebook recently removed the setting from the Messenger app and brought it to the Facebook app.

So first try disabling them via your Messenger app. But if you've recently updated the app(s), go to the Facebook app and disable notifications for Thug Life or similar instant games there. We've got guides for both apps below – check them out.
