    Turn off notification when friends launch the xbox app


    Hello together

    Now that the notifications for friends coming online are going again - the situation has gone in an annoying direction. I now get messages even when friends just launch the xbox app. This is absolutely annoying - is there any way to only get a message when they log into the console?

    :)

    In my case it's not that I'm getting notifications, that's no big deal and I do want them. The issue is since they "fixed" whatever they "fixed" it is flat out spamming people notifications now where it did not before. You'd get a single notification before that somebody was online and now it spams you when they sign on the console, spams you when they sign onto the Xbox App (I want to add it NEVER alerted me when somebody was on the Xbox App before, only alerted to them signing into the consoles) and spams you when they come back from being idle on one or both even if they are already showing as online. I'm getting spammed alerts to people I'm playing online with that they are signing online where it didn't do that before either. I'm getting extra alerts too it seems because I still have the Console Companion app installed (for reasons) and it's alerting me in the Xbox App (both PC and mobile), Game Bar and Console Companion on top of my console (my Xbox 360 in this case as I don't have any Xbox console beyond that), not just 1 of them. I'm getting alerts of people signing in on all of those at the same time and it's rather annoying.

    These alerts may be back again but whatever they did broke something else in the process.

    It seems that recent changes to the notification system have led to an increase in spamming alerts, which you were not used to before. It's understandable that you find this annoying, especially with the multiple platforms and apps where alerts are being sent. It seems that the fix attempt has inadvertently created another problem. Hopefully, the developers will address this issue soon and find a solution that restores functionality without the excessive notifications you already need.

    Similar issue. I left my PC on last night and woke up this morning to over 30 notifications.... all messages saying "[username] has signed online". I'm back to getting alerts also when I start a game and it has to tell me I started playing [enter game name]. I don't need a popup to alert me that I started playing a game.... I know that I started playing a game.

    How to block the Xbox Profile?

    Go to Xbox beta app or companion app > settings > notifications. Turn the ones off you want

    Either that or just sign out of the app when your not using it.

    You can also go to Notifications and action settings on windows and turn off notifications for xbox (scroll down to xbox)
