Don’t Respond to Texts You Receive From Facebook

Here’s another reason to stop using Facebook: If you get a text from Facebook, then you probably don’t want to respond —even if your response is something along the lines of “Stop texting me.” Beyond being an annoying, spammy, experience, it appears as though when you respond to those text messages with something like “STOP,” it doesn’t stop the messages and instead posts your frustrated request onto your timeline.
