How do I sync my facebook friends to my IPhone 5 contacts?
iPhone 5, iOS 6
I'm still finding that the vast majority of my Facebook contacts are not syncing due to Facebook's decision not to allow it!
Once again, I urge anyone unhappy with Facebook's decision to give them feedback directly by using the 'report a problem' option on the app.
But additional info like birthday, even though we could saw it from their profiles, but it won't sync into calendar app or contact app too right?
on Facebook App, go to the triple bars on top left, then all the way down on that menu to "report a problem", then fill the form.
@mate_88 I tried doing that right now and all it says is 0 contacts updated:/ I'm going to wait a couple of hours perhaps that might help, but other that that I dont know what I did wrong
Hello!! This @facebook.com trick is not working for me. The contacts do not sync anyways. Is it still working for you guys?
Thanks!
No the @facebook.com trick isn't working for me either. I just hope Facebook eventually fixes it, I've been putting feedback and reporting problems to them about this issue.
Is there any hope that when ios7 comes out that these features will return? the Facebook syncing and more birthdays showing up?
Ok. I've updated contacts from my Facebook to phone by adding the email they have linked with Facebook. Then it synced all of them. Very tedious.
This is the same way I realized this.. How do we undo this annoying change?? I want the birthdays to show, even if that's the only info my friends provide!
I actually found an ap that does it pretty well for me. If you search Birthdays for Facebook in the ap store, it should be the first one. Has worked perfectly for me so far, as far as reminders.
@ Sean Kom how do you exactly email your device your mac contacts? I went to email on my mac and i get lost from there! please help! thanks
Same problem here. That workaround was working, but now nomore and I think it is related to the fact that Facebook no longer supports the email @facebook.com.
You can use this app called sync.me. That syncs with FB and keeps contact pictures up to date.
Thank you very much for that information. It is very helpful! But, the question I have is "Why do Facebook contacts sync just fine on my Android phone?"
