How do I stop iOS8 sharing Contact info with Facebook?

Every time I make a change in Contacts, my iPhone tries to send the information to Facebook. Also, my personal (Me) information in Contacts has little blue Facebook linking tags throughout. Here's the thing - I never specifically set this up and I don't want it. It is a breach of my privacy. But for the life of me, I can't find how to disable this function anywhere within Settings nor within the Facebook App.
Please, can someone tell me how to disable this functionality?

@Don Kirk
Try the steps below to help you out with your issue:
Removing Facebook Contacts from iPhone
One of the easiest ways to remove or hide the Facebook contacts from appearing in your Contacts is to turn off a switch you’ll find in Facebook settings. To do this:
Open the Settings app
Tap on Facebook
Under “Allow These Apps to User Your Account”, turn off the switch for Contacts
Go back to your Phone app → Contacts and refresh the contacts list. All those Facebook contacts should be gone now.
Hide Facebook Contacts From Showing Up (Groups)
So we come to the next method which is usually considered a step backward because of its implementation in iOS 7 (more on that later).
You have these Groups that you can create and manage. Controlling the groups (and their visibility on the Contacts app) was very easy with iOS 6. With iOS 7, it gets a couple of steps extra.
Open the Phone app and tap on contacts
Now, tap on “Groups” link on the top-right
Do you see a “Facebook Contacts” group. You have to turn this off. (Uncheck)
Tap on Hide All Contacts  first. Then tap on all other groups that you want  to see. Don’t tap on the Facebook group. That’s it. (In iOS 6, tapping used to toggle check/uncheck. The implementation is kind of strange in iOS 7).

    How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations which require a deleting action.

    Going to answer my own question after searching the web a bit more...
    The setting is not in the Notification Center, where you'd expect...  it's in the Calendar app on OS X, and in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar settings in iOS 6 (don't know about 7 yet ).
    In OS X, open your Calendar and from the menu bar choose Calendar > Preferences and then highlight the Alerts tab.  Second from the bottom is a checkbox labelled "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center"... it's unchecked, and you need to put a check mark (aka tick) in that box.  To be honest, I think this is poorly designed, because putting a check mark in a box to disable a setting is rather like a double negative, and probably why I've seen so many people think they have this set correctly when in fact the opposite is true.
    There's a similar setting on iPhones/iPads too, and again it's hidden away, but at least it's the right way round.  Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll right to the bottom.  Where it says "Shared Calendar Alerts" change this setting to "OFF" (it's ON by default).

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

    I am in a hotel in Panama and although I have sharing completely switched off there are still computers connecting. How do I stop others sharing?

    I think you are seeing sharing networked computers in your sidebar.
    That doesn't mean they are connecting to you, or even that you can connect to them (they are likely pass word protected).  It's a bit like looking around your room and seeing a bunch of computers on tables... you can see them, but that doesn't mean you have access to them.
    It's also like seeing a list of WIFI networks in your Airport menu window - just because they're listed doesn't mean you can connect to them, or they to you.
    Does that make sense?

  • HT201269 how do I merge multiple duplicate contact entries with cell home and e-mail entries

    how do I merge multiple duplicate contact entries with cell home and e-mail entries?

    Try linking cards:
    Open any contact you want to merge, tap on Edit and look at the bottom part of it.  You'll find 'Link Cards' and from there you may select the contact you want to link with the one you're looking at. So if you have:
    Contact 1: John A (job)
    Contact 2:  Business Name (who is also John A but you saved it as a different contact)
    Contact 3: Something else that's also John A
    You can link all three cards into one.  If you choose to, you may unlink them at any time, just tap Edit and then the red circle. Your contacts won't be deleted, but they won't appear under the same ID anymore.

        gspielman,
    Help has arrived to assist you with getting those contacts on both your devices. The Verizon cloud service is definitely a great tool to use and you can also use Apple iCloud as well. When you sign into the Verizon cloud on your iPad does it give an option or message to restore?

  • How can I sync the Mac contacts app with my friends Facebook photos?

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5 and and iPad so I'm not to new to Apple products, however i did just get my first MacBook (I'm in love!) I have a question, is it possible to sync the Mac Contacts app with Facebook so that my friends Facebook photos will show up in the Mac Contacts app like they do on my iPhone or iPad? When I use iMessage on my Mac I would like my friends FB picture to pop up, would someone mind to walk me through this process?
    Thanks!

    If calendar events are not syncing from the iPhone to iCal on your mac, try Resetting the Sync History as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
    Then enable calendar syncing in iTunes and choose the Merge option on the initial sync.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481 provides additional advanced troubleshooting tips that may help, if the issue persists.
