Facebook power users, hands up: You just added a new friend and the Messenger icon in the top-right corner immediately lit up with a notification.。
"You are now connected on Messenger." Cue feelings of annoyance and defeat.。
SEE ALSO:Facebook’s desperate for people to take its fake news fight seriously 。Facebook feels your pain and it's going to fix this. Not completely, mind you, but the company presumably hopes to make a small enough impression moving forward that people won't feel compelled to drag the annoying feature again. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
"We are working to make these notifications even more useful by employing machine learning to send fewer of them over time to people who enjoy getting them less," a company spokesperson told TechCrunch. 。
The statement, which also notes that some people appreciate getting these messages (lolno), doesn't clarify exactly how machine learning will decide who doesn't enjoy getting those notifications. TechCrunch posits (probably accurately) that the people who don't take the prompt to start messaging will see the notifications less often. 。
