How do I manage notification settings in Messenger?

Facebook Messenger lets people control notifications from within the app settings, and the exact steps can vary a little by device. In general, the person should open Messenger, tap the profile picture or menu icon, then look for Notifications and Sounds. From there, it is usually possible to turn message alerts on or off, choose notification tones, and manage whether alerts appear for chats, calls, or group conversations. If the goal is quieter notifications for a specific conversation, Messenger often allows muting that chat temporarily or until it is turned back on. That can be helpful when only one thread is too active, while keeping other notifications active. On some phones, the device itself also has notification permissions that can override app settings, so it is worth checking the phone settings if Messenger alerts are still not behaving as expected. If the person wants the most current instructions, the current web page for Messenger support or account settings may show the latest menu names, since these can change after app updates.
