- you can't disable notifications

You absolutely can mute conversations, tap the (i) at the top of each convo, very first menu option should be "Notifications".

With you on everything else.

if i understand you correctly, that's muting conversations on a one-at-a-time basis, which is not the same as being able to globally disable notifications from the app
You can disable those too, click the "Profile" icon (the one with the silhouette) at the main screen, third menu option after user name and phone number is notifications. Globally.
on android at least, you can always globally disable notifications from an app: long press on a notification, tap the little i in a circle that appears, and there should be an "allow notifications" box you can un-check.
To add to the reply for Android, you can do this for iOS too if you use that.

Settings > messenger > notifications > toggle for allow notifications, or to modify them if you prefer.

Yes indeed you can with a max time until your alarm goes of. I want to determine myself how long I disable my notifications.
Well...you have incremental time options, or you can set it to "Until I turn it back on". Only globally has a limit to turn off EVERYTHING for 24 hours. Otherwise, you can disable wholesale the sound and popup notification with no max time. I'm no FB support person, just a heavy user of the App.
OK, I did not know that. Thanks :-)
