Who has not received a request for boring games or applications on Facebook that shoot the first dislike! Who is the largest social network in the world is also subject to invitations from friends to participate in boring games or calendar applications that you do not have any interest to participate.
Many do not know, but there is a way to block requests from Facebook games. You can also block application requests very similarly and is exactly the step-by-step process that I will describe in this post.
I myself have done so since I joined Facebook, I hate these games because of the Internet and is easier to keep asking for my friends not invite me. Further, that way I do not spend as boring group and keep the friendship a stable level! :) Let's learn how to get rid of this nuisance.
Block Applications on Facebook
There are two ways to block requests on Facebook. When a:
- You receive a request to join a game or application; and
- Another when you have not set up Facebook to receive such requests. Explain the two ways below:
Block Facebook games when it receives the request
When you receive the prompt to register a game, the notification area (that globe up there in the blue bar) indicates that already has some activity on your account.
By clicking on the globe, you see that the news is received that invitation of another boring little game that does not interest you. At this time, do the following:
- Hover about ordering the game or application and note that to “X” appears in the right corner;
- Click this “X”;
- Now click “Deactivate”;
- Soon, you'll never get invited to participate in this game or application. Simple as that.
Unfortunately you have to block that way each different game you receive invitation. There is a way to block all games at once.
Sometimes you may have received the request and forgot to lock it. Now the notification area is no longer displayed and it, therefore, you will not get complete step-by-step described above. In this case, follow the tip below:
- Click the logo “facebook” at the top left;
- In the options menu on the left, click the option “Games”. You will be redirected to the area of Facebook games;
- Again the options menu on the left, click the option “Requests”. All requests for games you received appear to date;
- Click the button with a “X”, next to the button “Play now”;
- Two locking options are displayed: Block game or ignore all requests from that user.
- Select the option you want. If you do not want to receive requests from that particular game, select block game. If you do not want to receive this annoying friend requests, click ignore all requests.
These tips above also serve to block the application requests.
There are other ways to block a game on Facebook. See more below.
Configuring applications to block Facebook applications and games
You do not expect to receive an annoying request to block it. Facebook offers locking options on your page “Privacy Settings” Account. Follow the steps below:
- In the upper right, Click the gear icon;
- Then choose “Privacy Settings“;
- On the new page that opened, the options menu on the left, select “Block”;
- In the right area, go to option “Block applications”;
- Soon. Now, no text field, start typing the name of the application or game that a dropdown list appears with the options. Select the option you want and ready, now the selected game or application will be blocked on your account and you will no longer receive his invitation! Ô Ad! :)

Admittedly: Facebook friends and have “people”, is not even? We have those who follow daily and those others who disturb us at all times. When disturbing fill us with requests or boring games applications, is the best way we configure Facebook to block all requests that user.
Following the step-by-step the previous tip, in other words, considering that you're already in the area “Block” their “Privacy Settings”, follow the tip below:

Conclusion
Facebook is a great social network to keep in touch with our friends, share our personal lives with whom we want, but he is much better when we stopped receiving requests boring games and applications that do not interest us.
Have not receive many invitations of this kind for some time, because I have been already applying these locks on my account, and I confess that I am much happier that way!
