Remove Gaming tab from Facebook on iPhone

Once you're sick to death of harvesting peas, roughing it on the frontier or dodging bullets from rival drug gangs, it is possible to delete games from Facebook. Games are a type of app, so you can use this same information to get rid of any other apps you no longer need.

This step-by-step guide will help you retire from farming or allow you to give up a life of crime:

1. Log in to your Facebook account.
2. Click on the "account" tab at the top right of the page.
3. Select "privacy settings" from the list on the left.
4. At the bottom of the page, under "apps and Web sites," choose "edit your settings."
5. On the "choose your privacy settings" page, click the "edit settings" box that corresponds with "apps you use."
6. Once the list of apps you use comes up, click the X to the right of the game you wish to remove.
7. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to delete the game.
8. Once you confirm, the game will no longer appear on your profile or apps page and will not have access to your information.

Maybe you still enjoy your life on the frontier but are tired of people asking for your help with their gang wars? There are a couple of ways to keep game notifications from showing up on your Facebook page. The easiest method is to hide them.

Next time a posting from a game shows up your wall that you don't ever want to see again, follow these steps:

1. Click the X next to the post on your home page.
2. Select "Hide all … ".
3. This will keep all notifications from that game, app or person -- if you want to hide someone -- from showing up on your home page.

So now you know how to delete games, but were they ever a good idea to begin with? On the next page, we'll explore the security of Facebook games and apps.

How do I remove shortcuts from my Facebook page?

By submitting your email, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Tap the “Settings” option that appears in the slide-out menu. Scroll down and tap on the “Shortcut Bar” button in the “Shortcuts” section. Use the search option at the top of the menu if you can’t find it. Toggle any of the tab options to remove them from the Shortcut Bar.

Every once in a while, Facebook adds a feature or option that people actually need. This is one of those happy times.

The social network now lets you edit your shortcut bar in its iOS app, meaning you can erase individual items from the bar or forbid them from showing the red notification dots, TechCrunch reported Monday.

I've tried it out on the latest version of iOS, and it works, though it's not entirely intuitive. Long press on an item in the shortcut bar (at the bottom of the app), and you'll get a pop-up menu allowing you to remove an item or turn the notification dots on or off. Note, however, that long pressing the Home, Profile, and More icons will get you nothing — it only works on items in between those icons, such as Groups, News, Marketplace, Profile, and Watch.

If you want to re-add some of these items to your shortcuts bar, you'll find the option by tapping More (three lines in the lower right corner), then navigating to Settings & Privacy - Settings - Shortcuts bar. And in Settings & Privacy - Settings - Notification dots, you'll find more options for enabling or disabling the red notification dots.

Frankly, this is a great feature. As a big proponent of inbox zero, I keep all my notifications and unread emails at zero whenever possible, and constantly getting notifications for something that's not really relevant to my interest (a random post on Marketplace or a new video by some Page) was annoying. If only Twitter would follow suit and stopped notifying me about random new posts on its network, that would be great.
