Q: Internet accounts on iOS

On a Mac, you can add internet accounts (i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) and select which aspects of their info can be integrated into the system (i.e. Contacts, Calendar, etc). I can't seem to find how to do this on iOS. It seems bizarre that macOS can pull info into Contacts from LinkedIn but iOS can't. Am I missing something?

    Hello!

     

    Managing the preferences for your Calendar are handled within the Settings rather than directly within the Calendar app. To manage the accounts that are synced to Calendar, go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts. From there, you will see a list of all currently associated accounts, and an option that reads "Add Account". Tap on "Add Account" and you will see a list of available providers including iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, Outlook and Other.

     

    You may apply the same process to link accounts to your contacts. Simply go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts. You will see the same list of Internet accounts when you tap on "Add Account".

     

    All of the aforementioned steps may be applied to Notes as well as Reminders.

     

    Best of luck to you!

    @deggie: Of course I have. I don't see anything there related to integrating Contacts, etc.

    @Macology: I assume for Facebook and LinkedIn, I have to click Other. What do I do from there? Thanks

    Just following up on my original question: How do you incorporate contact info from internet accounts (FB, LinkedIn) into the Contacts app in iOS? Thanks
