Are you annoyed by too many notifications? Looking for a better way to configure and control what notifications you want to see?

Before looking at how to configure them, let’s see what are google+ notifications?

Notifications are events that happen within Google+. When some one added you to their circles, mentioned you in a post, shared a post with you, +1’d your post or tagged you in a picture all these are considered events and you get a notification in your Google+ bar, email, SMS and in your Google+ notifications page. But if you are a busy users on Google+, then notifications will be way out of control and annoying.

Don’t worry, Google+ notifications got it covered. This new feature added to Google+ settings allows you to have better control of notifications.

Here are the steps of how to configure notifications

• Goto your google+ profile
• Click on the gear icon and choose google+ settings
• Look for the section, Who can interact with you and your posts (this is the first one as of now)
  

  Google+ notification settings

• Set the value for Who can send you notifications?
