The notifications page

The notifications page is the full history of everything the site has notified you about — much longer than the dropdown on the bell icon shows.

How to open it

Click the bell icon at the top of any page and click View all notifications at the bottom of the dropdown. That's the only way to reach it from inside the app — there's no separate sidebar link.

What it shows

Every notification you've received in the last six months or so, newest first, 20 at a time. Each row shows what happened, when, and links to the thing it's about. Unread notifications get a small red dot on the right and a slightly darker background.

Filtering by category

A row of filter chips at the top lets you narrow to one category. The labels you'll see are: All, Likes, Comments & mentions, Groups, Events, Messages, Connections, and Announcements. There's also an Unread only switch next to the chips if you just want to focus on what's new.

Marking individual ones as read

Just click the row. That opens the thing the notification is about (the post, the event, the conversation), and it marks the notification read at the same time. The unread red dot disappears and the bell number drops by one.

Marking all as read

If you have anything unread, a Mark all read button appears at the top of the page (with a double-checkmark icon). This clears the bell number entirely.

Loading older notifications

The page loads 20 notifications at a time. Click Load older notifications at the bottom to bring in the next batch.

How long are notifications kept?

About 180 days (roughly six months). After that, older ones are removed automatically to keep the page fast.

Don't see anything?

If you have no notifications yet, the page just says so. If you were expecting one and it's not there, check the All filter isn't accidentally narrowed to a category that excludes it, then contact support if it still doesn't appear.
