Facebook has fixed a glitch that reversed selected email notifications for some users. Typically, Facebook users can customize which emails or text notifications they receive, whether it's for friend requests or new Facebook events. But on Tuesday, users began complaining that their selected email notifications had been reversed. For instance, those who had opted not to receive emails for events, were suddenly receiving emails about them, while those who'd checkmarked that box were not receiving emails at all.
"Yesterday evening, we discovered a bug that caused a small number of people to start receiving notifications they had previously turned off. We have since resolved the issue and apologize for any inconvenience," a spokesperson said.
Last Friday some Facebook users also reported seeing an error message when trying to access their "Notifications" menu, which Facebook said it resolved within 24 hours.
