Facebook contacts sync not working properly

Hello,


since yesterday my Facebook contacts/friends are not being imported properly to my Address Book on my Macbook and iPhone (only about 20 friends are being imported, I have 300+). I have tried everything from deleting the Facebook Account from my Iphone and Macbook and signing in again to turning the contacts option on/off multiple times and pressing the refresh contacts button, nothing has worked so far. I noticed that a few Facebook contacts were missing in my address book yesterday after which I turned the contacts button from the Facebook on my iPhone on/off, from that moment on only about 20 friends synced and all others were just gone and wouldn't show up anymore.


I would appreciate any tips.


Kind regards,


Gabriel

iOS 6.1.4

Same issue here. The strange thing is that it affects exactly the same contacts on all my devices (iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and iMac): I have 189 friends on Facebook and only 23 are syncing. So it is likely that the issues is caused on the Facebook side.


I also tried to update the Facebook contact information. The amount of updates is weird: it goes from 100, 102, 2 to 1 contact(s) updated, while only 23 contacts are syncing?


Kind regards,
