How to Turn Off Workspace Notifications and Disable Red Notification Bubbles?

·Mar 04, 2026 06:53 PM·

Does anyone know how to turn off notifications for this workspace? 🙂 I really hate those red notification bubbles, so I have to open each time there is something to just find some job posting or something.

great Q, what did perplexity say when you searched for it? (general slack q)

Felt like it would be more useful to ask in general chat, as maybe others might find same problem as I did

That's all I could find, but is likely the global setting for all of slack

You'd need to do that from your mobile phone settings.

James P. I'm sorry to hear that. you can mute a channel or mute entire workspace

it's a Slack thing. Psychologically, it makes you want to click, whether youre interested or not. It's a cheap trick they do to keep you using their platform, just like all the other social media platforms.

That's the most wild take I've ever read Abdul R.

This isn't a social platform. You can turn off the notifications and the icons. This is a pull community, not a push. We aren't asking members to engage with daily @ channel tags, etc, like some others. L

You didn't, I'm simply defining what Slack is to us. They're owned by Salesforce after all, they can't make social happen in their own platform 😂

Pretty sure its a real take. I’ve been trying to control Slack notifications for years and you cant. So i just turn them all off.
