If you're tired of being interrupted by Facebook's chat heads on your iPhone, you're in luck - turning them off is a breeze.

To start, open the Facebook app on your iPhone and navigate to the "Settings" menu, which is represented by a gear icon.

From there, select "Account Settings" and then scroll down to the "Mobile" section.

Here, you'll find the "Chat Heads" option, which is turned on by default.

To disable chat heads, simply toggle the switch next to "Chat Heads" to the "off" position.
