How Do I Remove A Game From Facebook
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.
To remove an app or game you've added: Click in the top right of Facebook. Select Settings & Privacy Settings. Click Apps and Websites in the left menu. Click the box next to the apps or games you'd like to remove. Once you’ve removed the app or game, it should no longer post to your timeline.

If you decide you want to change the privacy settings, or remove a game from having access to your Facebook, you can do so by going to “Settings & Privacy” located under the drop-down menu in the upper right corner, selecting “Settings” then “Apps and Websites.” This will list any games you’ve allowed to have access to your account. At the bottom of the page, under 'apps and Web sites,' choose 'edit your settings.' On the 'choose your privacy settings' page, click the 'edit settings' box that corresponds with 'apps you use.' Once the list of apps you use comes up, click the X to the right of the game you wish to remove.
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.
