Some owners of Facebook groups (and some individuals) are over-using the @everyone and @followers tags to draw attention to their latest post. If you don’t know how to deal with this, your only option is to unfollow the group or individual, or more drastically, leave the group and unfriend the individual.

This is the solution:

Facebook setting to disable @everyone

Steps:

  1. From your profile icon at the top right, select “Settings & privacy”
  2. From the Preferences group on the left, select “Notifications”.
  3. Select “Tags” and scroll down to “Batch mentions”.
  4. Toggle the switch to the “off” position. That’s all.
