Here’s a clear step-by-step way to turn ON Facebook notifications for a close friend if you’ve accidentally turned them off:
Open Facebook on your phone (app) or computer (browser).
Go to your friend’s profile.
On their profile, look for the “Friends” button (next to “Message” or “Follow”).
Tap or click Friends → Edit Friend List / Favorites.
Then, look for the bell icon (Notification settings) on their profile.
Select “Get Notifications” and choose what you want:
✅ Posts (all updates or highlights)
✅ Stories
✅ Live Videos
After this, you should start receiving notifications again whenever your close friend posts or goes live.
