Facebook Contacts Sync

hi.

back when ios 6 was released i would get my contacts updated with the facebook pic and other information, but this appears to be no longer the case.


no new contacts are being created (or merged to my contacts) when i add new people to my facebook nor are some of my contacts being sync'ed with facebook.


the contact app is being allowed to use my facebook account under the phone/facebook settings and clicking on the *update all contacts* doesnt solve the problem - in fact, sometimes it links one or two contacts to people whom i dont even have in facebook.


is there a setting i've overlooked? anyone else having this issue? thanks.

 

this explains it, and it makes sense except that it is really badly implemented because not even the photo is synced on existing iphone contacts.



According to a Facebook spokesperson, friends that have no contact information on their profile other than a @facebook.com email address will not be synced to the Contacts address book going forward.



i understand people not wanting "useless" contacts on their phone but what they should have done instead is only sync contacts you've already created on your phone - instead of creating tens or hundreds useless ones in the first place.



thanks for the heads up.

tried it, thanks. but it doesnt really solve the issue as it is apparently a "feature" now - a badly implemented one at that as outlined above.
