Geek Insider FYI: How To Block Facebook Game Requests

So maybe you’re safe from all those ads and pop ups, thanks to Geek Insider’s list of the best Google Chrome extensions, but now you’re being hassled by Aunt Mary and her daily invites to join her on FarmVille. Are you are tired of getting excited every time your smart phone pings and you think it’s your crush but its only another invite for Candy Crush? Have you looked through Facebook’s “Help” center and found it not helpful? Well, as always, Geek Insider is here to save the day!

Boom! No more invites from Aunt Mary. Of course, you don’t want to have to enter the name of every single person who does this. That would take forever…

  • Go to the BLOCKING section.
  • Find the BLOCK APPS section.
