Block and Stop Candy Crush Requests on Facebook

Finally it became too much for me to handle and I had to look for a way to stop Candy Crush requests on Facebook. My friends have been asking this question since long. But I never really bothered about the notifications that would come all the time from games like Candy Crush and Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda and what not! It is really irritating to keep receiving tens of such requests —especially when you’re not interested.

There are a large number of FB users wish to block Candy Crush notifications and requests. And sometimes it gets way too much. I have played Candy Crush and I like this game but I play it only when I have time. I don’t play such games for killing time. Professional blogging is a serious business. You can not afford to waste time online with such games. Those who are addicted to this game keep on sending help requests. Candy Crush requests became such nuisance that a large number of jokes and memes have cropped up on Internet.

A meme on how irritating Candy Crush requests are.

Candy Crush is a game developed for mobile devices by King.com. It is available for various mobile phone platforms like Android and iOS. When someone plays it, Candy Crush brings up certain restrictions which could be easily get around by asking “help” from your Facebook friends. When a player asks such a help, the Facebook friend gets a notification.

Also, players keep on inviting their non-player Facebook friends by sending them such notifications.

Well, you would best know the answer to this question! But mostly, people feel irritated as Candy Crush consistently sends large number of notifications and requests. It is one of the most popular mobile game. In future, it may even be considered among the classic computer games. So, you can imagine the huge number of people who are playing it and seeking your help.

This large number of unsolicited requests turns out to be a great nuisance on Facebook. When you log into your Facebook account and see that there are 50 notification, you feel curious as to which friends are interacting with you. But when you realize that most of these notifications are actually from games like Candy Crush, you will certainly not feel good about it!

When you feel like saying “enough is enough”! you can go to the Facebook App Center Game Requests page.
