Why are my facebook friends in my contacts?

When I try to load my phone contacts, my facebook friends are listed in my contacts as well (if they've posted their phone number or email address on facebook).  I do not want all of those random contacts in my phone, only the ones I have put in there! Is there any way to unsync the facebook contacts to my phone contacts?

Please let us know what type of phone you have and we can provide you with more specific directions. I will list general directions to unsync the facebook contacts for the Samsung Fascinate, you can also remove your Facebook account from your device.
1) Click Menu
2) Click Contacts
3) Click Settings
4) Choose display options 
5) Uncheck Facebook

    why do my Facebook friends transfer to my contacts

    Hi Semc61,
    Same thing happened to me. What I did was:
    Go to Settings, go to Facebook, look at where it says: “These programmes can use your account” and switch off Contacts. Doing that deleted the double contacts I had on my phone and only left the original ones. Because let’s face it, I am friends with many people on Facebook who I’d never call.
    I hope this helps. Best of luck.
    Best regards,
    Mrs Westerberg

  • I updated my phone and when i downloaded the facebook app again it synced all my facebook friends to my contacts. How do i get rid of that?

    I updated my phone today. I had to redownload all my apps and when I downloaded facebook again it synced all my facebook friends into my contacts. I now have over 700 contacts, how do i get facebook to not be synced with my contacts?

    they are deleted permanently off your phone
    but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase

    I mistakenly extract and downloaded Facebook Friends to my Contact in iPhone 4s (iOS 6) How I can delete it?

    I just figured it out! I set the email account I am using to try to send the photos as my default account by going to General > Settings > Mail > scrolling down to Default Account. Mine was set as my iCloud account. I switched it to gmail and now I can send photos.

  • I don't want Facebook friends synced to Contacts.

    In order to use Facebook from Preview and other apps, I need to login to Facebook. But then it says when I do that all Facebook friends will be imported into my Contacts, which I do not want. But I DO want to be able to sync Contacts through iCloud to my other devices. So how do I enable Facebook, not let it download friends to my Contacts, but keep other Facebook iCloud syncs?

    OK, if I go where you said and enter my Facebook info, I get this message: "Signing into Facebook will: Download your Facebook friends to the Contadcts app...Allow you to post status update etc to Facebook...Enable apps to work with your Facebook account. In System Prefs you can disable Contacts syncing and disallow any app from accessing your Facebook account."
    So it sounds like I only have two choices: To have all my Facebook friends in my Contacts (which I don't want; what a mess to scroll past them all on my phone) or to disable Contacts syncing, which will not allow all my contacts to stay synced between devices, right?

  • Why are new Facebook features not showing up in Safari?

    Facebook added some features recently and the are not showing up in Safari. They show up and work fine on every other browser I've tried. I am not using any extensions in Safari.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Same problem here, just started yesterday. It's not Safari, it's Facebook. The sooner FB members report this as a bug the sooner a fix.

  • Why Are Surnames Continually Added Back to Contact Entries After I Delete the Surname?

    I have quite a few contacts with just their first name.
    The Contacts app on my MacBook Pro continually adds last names -- if I had it in there at one time and since removed it -- back to the contact. Then this syncs over to my iPhone and iPads.
    Why does Contacts do this and how can I stop it permanently?

    Hello HellBlazerRaiser,
    If contacts are reverting back, the next place I would try to fix is at iCloud.com, from there you can edit from the source of the contacts. I have also provided and article that will assist with troubleshooting contacts across multiple devices.

  • When syncing my facebook friends to my contacts no one appears, Help?

    When i sync my friends from facebbok to the contacts it does all the stuff saying its downloading all of them but they never appear on my Contacts anywhere? Im not sure if im doing something wrong or not but i just can not figure it out.
    If you can help it would be much appreciated, Thanks

    You have to first tell iTunes where you want your contacts stored.  The option is Yahoo, Google or Windows.  Once you've set up your contacts on your computer, in one of those locations, you then tell iTunes where the contacts come from (again, Yahoo, Google or Windows) to your iPad.  From then on, when you sync, your contacts will stay where you wanted them.  To see what I'm suggesting, you open the device, by clicking on it from the left hand side of your iTunes screen.  Once your iPad device is open in iTunes, click on the Information tab above and that's where your contacts are directed from. 

  • Re: Contacts - Why are there 3 duplicates of each contact?

    As the title says; there are 3 duplicates of each contact in my Contacts app Version 9.0 (1498) w/ OS X 10.10 ( I think this was an issue with Mavericks as well). Also, only the first contact shows 2 "iCloud"'s underneath "cards" info (picture below), whereas the 2 other duplicates do not. No duplicate contacts with synced iPhone iOS 7.1.2.

    You should only have 1 iCloud account and there may be the same contact in On My Mac. Go to System Preferences/iCloud and de-select Contacts. Check to see how many you have. Contacts/Preferences/Accounts - disable one iCloud account and delete the On My Mac.

    As for phone calls what do you think a phone call would cost a company to help you with a usage problem do you think $20- $50. But you expect a fix and that is not a "how to use" problem. A usage solution would be don't use add-ons that's more help than you would have gotten from our company's outsourced help desk. How much did you pay for all of your browsers.

  • New Facebook friends not showing up in contacts.

    When I first got my phone I added my Facbook information into the Droid 2 accounts and it added all of my Facebook friends into my contacts on its own. My question is, does the phone automatically add new friends? I added a new friend on Facebook today and its not showing up in the contacts on my phone. I don't see any sync settings for Facebook, just a box for your email and password.

    I also noticed that people's pictures are'nt being updated in contacts or social networking droid app.
