Anyone who likes a page can invite their friends to like it as well, and Facebook even encourages you to do this sometimes. You've almost certainly been swarmed with page invites on Facebook at some point.
Unfortunately, there's currently no way to turn off page invites on Facebook. Based on our testing, locking event invites doesn't stop page invites. Your only real options are using the tools above. If people invite you to a particular page all of the time, use the Block Pages tool to stop seeing content from it. If that's not an option, consider posting a status update letting your friends know that you don't want to receive page invites anymore.
This probably won't stop everything, but it's worth a try. Facebook has a page dedicated to letting you manage how apps interact with your account. It shows all of the apps you've used Facebook to log into, so it's worth reviewing while you're managing blocking on your account. You'll see three boxes under Preferences , which we'll discuss in a moment. If you want to prevent all apps and games from using your Facebook account, you can disable the Facebook App Platform.

Doing so may also cause you to lose access to accounts that you use Facebook to log into. While this is a viable way to block apps from accessing your data on Facebook, we recommend thinking this through carefully before using it. You should make sure you don't have any important accounts or integrations using your Facebook account that you would miss.
Click Edit , then Turn Off to hide all notifications from games and apps. If you don't care about any content from these apps or don't want to block them individually using the above controls, this is a handy way to stop all notifications in one sweep.
It doesn't affect the games themselves, so you can continue to play them. Finally, since you're taking the time to block invites on Facebook, you should also check what apps have your information on the platform. With Facebook's many privacy concerns , it's smart to know what's accessing your data.
