Hi

So, long time Windows Phone user, first time iOS user, here. Since Microsoft is killing off its mobile operating system, I decided to jump ship and got an iPhone 8 Plus.

I have to say, for an operating system promoted as incredibly user-friendly, iOS doesn't seem very intuitive to me. And it seems like a pretty closed system that allows for very little customization.

All that aside, I want to ask if it is possible to enable pop-up alerts for Facebook. I can't seem to be able to do that in any way on iOS 11. On Windows Phone I received pop-up alerts for facebook comments and for facebook birthdays (and the alerts also remained in my WP notifications center). On iOS I receive pop-up alerts only for the Yahoo Mail app. I have looked in the Settings and the Facebook notifications are turned on for birthdays both inside the app and in the iOS app settings.

Is there a way to receive pop-up alerts for Facebook notifications on iOS 11?
